Lionel Messi has had a career that has involved a lot of goals, trophies, and GOAT moments, but his last recent stint with French club PSG was not up to the mark at all. Messi joined PSG in 2021 after falling out with his boyhood club, Barcelona, with all his fans expecting the Argentinian to win big things and perform impressively, provided the French side had the star team they had during his tenure at the club.

Having scored just 32 goals and without any European success, the home fans were seen continuously bashing him which is not a sight any football fan wants to see. He received great interest from Saudi Arabia hotshots, Al Hilal, and also a probability of a homecoming at Barcelona, but every possibility turned to ashes when he decide to wear the pink armor of the MLS side, Inter Miami.
