A wonderful experience – Messi bids farewell to PSG

Paris Saint-Germain forward, Lionel Messi, has bid farewell to the club after two seasons in France.

Messi’s first season in the French capital was underwhelming.

But in the 2022-23 campaign, which saw him lift the World Cup trophy at long last, he has notched an impressive 21 goals and 20 assists in all competitions.

Speaking to ESPN, Messi said: “I am happy to have been able to represent PSG — I really enjoyed playing on this team and with such good players. I want to thank the club for a wonderful experience in Paris.”

Not exactly the most heartfelt statement, but given the devastating nature of his dramatic move from Barcelona, the Argentina star clearly wasn’t delighted to be moving to Ligue 1.

Now, after two seasons, his time in France is over.
