World Cup Lionel Messi has candidly spoken about his feelings about his move from Barcelona a club he had played for since his teenage years.

The Argentine star shared that he had a difficult time at PSG after the shock-exist from the Spanish city in 2021 and noted that he had to rebuild his life.

“The change was difficult when I went to Paris Saint Germain because I was doing very well in Barcelona and I planned to stay there. I was not prepared to leave, everything happened very quickly, and I had to rebuild my life from one day to the next. I got to know another league, another club, a new locker room. It was a change that we were not looking for and that is why it was difficult at first.” stated Messi in an interview.

“For me, it was difficult when I arrived in Barcelona. I was a child and I had to adapt to new friends, a new country, a new city, new people, new school.

“It was difficult for me at first, but I thought I was doing what I wanted, playing football, in a great team like Barcelona and that made me able to move forward, it was impressive and I enjoyed it a lot. They have always treated me very well in Barcelona, I am grateful to them,” he added.

Messi narrated that he was constantly frustrated while at the French club despite scoring 16 goals and bagging 16 assists for the Ligue 1 club in the 2022-23 season.

Messi won two league titles with PSG but could not inspire them to a first-ever Champions League triumph and was criticised during his time in France.

The Seven-time Ballon d’Or winner subsequently moved to Inter Miami and has quickly settled into life in the United States with his family, becoming an instant hit with the MLS side.

Messi subsequently moved to the United States Inter Miami where he will stay until 2025.
