Messi Reflects on Challenges in Paris

Messi recalls difficulties in Paris
Star forward Lionel Messi opened up about his time playing for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The Argentine footballer played for the Parisian club between 2021 and 2023.

"You often say that you were happy in Barcelona, but not so much in Paris..." "Yes, it may seem like everything in Paris was bad, but that's not entirely true. When I said it was difficult, I meant that I didn’t feel comfortable playing football, whether in training or during matches.

I simply didn’t enjoy my work. However, from a family perspective, we had a wonderful time – the city is very beautiful, and we enjoyed it.

It was also challenging because it was our first time leaving Barcelona, so everything felt new. It wasn’t due to injuries but more about internal emotions.

Here in Miami, everything is different. Our life is calm: the club is close, the children's school is nearby, and everything is convenient.

The city is wonderful, but yes, the traffic is terrible (laughs)," Messi told Sport.es. During his time at PSG, Messi played a total of 75 matches, scoring 32 goals and providing 35 assists.
