The Argentine Leo Messi has been strongly criticized in recent days due to the large number of private jet trips he has made in the last three months, in what is already recognized as one of the greatest environmental crises that recorded in decades.
According to information published by the English newspaper ‘The Sun’, the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker’s jet has made 52 trips to different parts of the world from June 1 to August 31, which means a lot of carbon dispersed in the air.
Furthermore, this source affirms that Messi rents an impressive luxury plane for just over $13 millions of dollars for his trips, although on some occasions he lends it to his family and friends.
According to scientific studies, the number of trips carried out in the aforementioned period of time has emitted the same amount of CO2 that a person would make during 150 years.
Precisely the Argentine has just returned to France on a private flight after having played the FIFA double date with the Argentina team with which he scored two goals against Honduras in his team’s 3-0 victory and a hat-trick in the 4-0 win over Jamaica .
It should be noted that the private jet of the historic FC Barcelona player was manufactured by an Argentine company in the most personalized way possible, and it is that on the steps it bears the names of Messi himself, of his wife Antonella and their three children Thiago, Ciro and Mateo.
In addition, it has its own kitchen, two bathrooms and seats for 16 people that in an incredible way can be folded and converted into eight beds.
