I never wanted to join PSG– Inter Miami star Lionel Messi

Recent moves from Paris Saint-Germain to Inter Miami have made Lionel Messi the centre of attention

Former Barcelona star, Lionel Messi, the forward for Inter Miami, has shared his honest feelings about leaving FC Barcelona and his unexpected move to Paris Saint-Germain, Soccernet.ng reports.

In a press conference on Thursday, the Argentine Messi talked openly about his decision, giving us a glimpse into the thoughts behind it.

Messi revealed that leaving Barcelona was a tough choice for him, and he never actually planned or wanted to join PSG. Moving from his long time with Barcelona to the new team in Paris was a challenging and uncertain time for him.

But things have taken a different turn for Messi since he joined Inter Miami in Major League Soccer (MLS). He’s made a strong start in Miami, scoring an impressive nine goals in just six games and leading his new team to the League’s Cup final against Nashville.

While his move to Paris was filled with doubts and questions, Messi’s current situation in Miami has brought him a lot of happiness. He talked about how much he and his family are enjoying their new life in Miami, and how the city and its people have made them feel welcome.

Messi’s story shows how a footballer’s journey can be full of surprises and changes. His experiences – from the unexpected move to PSG to his successful time in Inter Miami – highlight how careers in sports can have different twists and turns.

As Messi continues to make his mark in the MLS, his words about his past decisions remind us that every step in his incredible journey has its own special meaning. “Me going to Paris was neither planned nor desired,” Messi shared, as quoted by Forbes.

“I did not want to leave Barcelona and it became difficult. But it is the opposite of what is happening to me now thanks to God,” he added.

As fans follow Messi’s story both on and off the field, his honest words give us a glimpse into the real emotions and challenges that come with being a football superstar.
