The Argentinian star expressed his anger after leaving the club last summer. Argentina defeated France in a tiebreaker in the final on the way to winning the World Cup after 36 years. And another PSG superstar, Kylian Mbappe, played in that opposing team. Therefore, Messi was not welcomed by the club. Then last summer, Messi left PSG and joined Inter Miami. Then he got angry. Said that he is the only member of the World Cup-winning squad, which the club did not give any kind of recognition.

What happened after leaving PSG and other details-

He even compared his time in Paris to ‘hell’.PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi cannot digest such words of a World Cup winner. He feels Messi did not show the club ‘proper’ respect after leaving PSG.

His contribution to the club in his span with PSG-

He played 75 matches in 2 years in PSG and contributed 67 goals, but he could not bring them the desired continental success i.e. Champions League. Khelaifi believes Messi has not said a single positive word about his time in the French capital since leaving the club.

PSG president Khelaifi’s statement about him-


PSG president Khelaifi told RMC Sports on Tuesday (January 9) in response to Messi’s harsh criticism, ‘We say when we are there, not when we are no longer there. I respect him (Messi) a lot but if someone talks bad about PSG after this (Messi’s departure), it’s not a good thing. It’s not honourable, he’s not a bad person, but I don’t like it. It’s not just about him, but about everyone.

Lionel Messi’s statement after leaving PSG-


After leaving PSG, he remained silent for a long time. But recently he opened his mouth. In an interview with Migu Granados, he said of his time at PSG, “I was the only player who didn’t get the recognition (after returning to the club after winning the World Cup) that the other 25 got.”


Messi also understood the reason, in his words, “It’s easy to understand, I was in the place where we won the final and they didn’t become world champions again because of us. I was there as a world champion.’
Notably, he joined Inter Miami on a free transfer from PSG last summer. Within a short time of Messi’s arrival, football in the United States became very popular. Miami has also seen success. The Argentinian superstar led the Cranes (nicknamed Inter Miami) to the League Cup title in his first season.

Conclusion:

Finally, his thorough comment on his transfer to Inter Miami demonstrates not just his humility but also his acute knowledge of the significance of his presence on the global football scene. His admission of the conflicting feelings associated with the location where he became a world champion gives dimension to his journey. Messi’s free transfer from PSG to Inter Miami has not only brought the team success but has also considerably increased the popularity of football in the United States.
