Lionel Messi parted ways with the club in 2023, and his comments on the club haven’t been ‘positive’ to say the least.

PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi opened up about Lionel Messi and his treatment of the club following his departure. Despite a commendable 67-goal contribution during his time at the club, neither Messi nor PSG seemed to be at their best.
