Lionel Messi has broken his silence on the rollercoaster relationship he endured with Paris Saint-Germain supporters by admitting there was a “rift” at the Parc des Princes.
The Argentine superstar arrived in the French capital in the summer of 2021 following his shock exit from Barcelona. Messi was welcomed with plenty of acclaim - a huge amount of fans turned out to watch his official unveiling.
Things did not go to plan for the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner. He scored just six league goals in his debut campaign and then failed to push PSG towards their first-ever Champions League win.
