'What s***!': Sergio Aguero takes aim at 'a**hole' French media for 'killing' Lionel Messi in the wake of his display against Real Madrid... as he insists PSG star 'played well and broke lines' - despite L'Equipe giving him a 3/10!

Former Manchester City star Sergio Aguero has raced to the defence of fellow Argentine Lionel Messi, after the PSG star was slammed for his poor display in their 1-0 win over Real Madrid.

Messi, 34, was handed just a three out of 10 rating by L'Equipe for his 'worrying' limp performance after his dramatic penalty miss.

The former Barcelona forward failed to convert from 12 yards when handed a spot kick in the first leg of PSG's last-16 clash with Madrid in the Champions League, with Belgian stopper Thibaut Courtois saving his effort.
