Sergio Aguero blames Barcelona for Lionel Messi snub with brutal assessment

Seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi has shocked the footballing world by confirming he'll part ways with Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his current deal, which expires at the end of this month, to join Major League Soccer outfit Inter Miami. The deal was confirmed on Wednesday, just before Messi admitted he wished he could go back to Barcelona.
