Real Madrid Confidencial Messi blames Mbappé for his failure at PSG, his inner circle drops the rant of the century
Leo Messi left Paris Saint-Germain after two seasons in which he went unnoticed
In 2021, Leo Messi confirmed his definitive departure from FC Barcelona to head to Paris Saint-Germain. The agreement made headlines around the world and was seen as a clear statement of intent by the Parisians. The goal at Parc des Princes was to win the first Champions League, and to achieve that, they completed the transfer of the Argentine.
There, in Paris, Leo Messi reunited with an old friend of his: Neymar Jr. There was also a young Kylian Mbappé who was beginning to showcase his skills against defenders across the European continent. However, Nasser Al Khelaifi's plan didn't go as desired. The Argentine ended up leaving after two years.
Leo Messi didn't achieve the desired goals
On the field, the chemistry among the three strikers was inconsistent, and their desired dominance in Europe never became a reality.
In fact, according to L'Equipe, Leo Messi felt quite uncomfortable in the locker room due to the number of arguments Neymar and Mbappé had.
"He didn't have a single good moment in Paris. He couldn't go out. He found himself in the middle of the Neymar-Mbappé rivalry.", according to the well-known French outlet.
They also explain that his triumph in the 2022 World Cup with Argentina wasn't recognized as he desired, which caused him frustration.
"He even felt that the club protected the Frenchman and didn't even honor his World Cup title. In Barcelona, he was a God. It was a combination of many things", the source adds.
Leo Messi decided to leave for the United States
Tensions in Paris reached their peak in May 2023 after another Champions League elimination. At that time, Paris Saint-Germain fined Leo Messi for two weeks because the Argentine traveled to Saudi Arabia without permission.
Although he later returned to the squad, Christophe Galtier, who was the coach at the time, didn't withdraw the fine. Shortly after the end of the season, Leo Messi confirmed his departure and joined Inter Miami, choosing a new beginning in Major League Soccer.
