• Lionel Messi could find himself in trouble after sacking staff who have worked over decades for a hotel he recently bought in the southwest of Spain.

• About 40 members of staff are unemployed at the moment due to Messi’s actions, making people in the town angry with the PSG forward.

• Messi is the majority shareholder of MiM hotels, a company that owns numerous hotels in Barcelona, Mallorca and Ibiza.

Paris Saint Germain superstar Lionel Messi has reportedly fired the staff of a hotel he recently bought in Spain. The 35-year-old has come under severe criticism after PSG’s Champions League clash against Real Madrid, where he missed a crucial penalty before Kyllian Mbappe bailed him out to secure a late winner against the 13-time European champions.

Messi now faces the rage of the staff of MiM Sotogrande, a luxury hotel based in Cadiz in the southwest of Spain after he reportedly sacked all the current workers after taking over the resort.

According to reports, about 40 members of staff are unemployed at the moment, making people in the town angry with Messi’s decision. The hotel has been operating for over ten years and it has been the mainstay of the town, providing security, comforts and entertainment to guests as well as employment to people of the community.

Messi will now face the wrath of EU labour law, as his drastic actions go against the rights and obligations of workers and employers. The Argentine captain is the majority shareholder of MiM hotels, a company that owns numerous hotels in Barcelona, Mallorca and Ibiza.
