Lionel Messi claims that Paris Saint-German never honored him for Argentina's 2022 World Cup victory.
"I was the only player that didn't get [club] recognition." Messi said in a recent."It was understandable… because us [Argentina], they [France] didn't retain the World Cup."
Messi admitted that adapting to PSG was difficult, and stated there was a fracture within the fan base throughout his two seasons with the club. Messi ultimately decided to leave and sign with"It happened like that. It was not what I expected, but I always say things happen for a reason." Messi told ESPN when asked if he regretted his initial move to Paris."Even if I wasn't well there, it happened that I was world champion while I was there.
Messi's contract with Inter Miami lasts through December 2025, and he doesn't plan on retiring anytime soon. "I haven't thought about it [retiring], I don't want to think about it because I want to continue to enjoy what I do." Messi said."I took an important step by leaving Europe and coming here, and I don't want to think about the next step.", but hasn't decided whether he will participate in the 2026 World Cup.
"I do think about the Copa América." Messi said."After the Copa América, we will see, it depends on how I feel. I will see how I feel day by day; there are three years to go."[Do you want more great stories delivered right to you?
