Speaking at an interview for Apple TV, World Cup winner Lionel Messi shed light upon his pursuits at PSG and how he felt about his time with the Parisians. Following the Copa America victory in 2021, the footballing world was shocked when Leo Messi moved to Paris in the summer. After a summer full of speculation and expectations, the Argentine’s time in France was a mixed bag of sorts, with his inability to recreate his usual magnificent self on the pitch as well as issues with the fans and coach/coaches alike.
Speaking in the interview, Messi recollected, “There were two difficult years at PSG, I had lost that feeling of enjoying playing football. My trips to the National Team were my happiest moments during that time. Here in Miami, I found my happiness with a ball again.” Fans and players alike have commented on Messi’s time at PSG. While some feel like it was a ‘failure’ of sorts, his 32 goals and 34 assists in 75 outings for the club speaks for itself.
After 2 years at PSG, Messi finds himself at Inter Miami and has taken no time to return to his magnificent self. Social media posts and comments show a ‘rejuvenated’ Messi who is all smiles and cheers on the pitch.
