Lionel Messi breaks the silence about relationship with PSG fans

In a shocking turn of events, just a few days after announcing he’s leaving France, Lionel Messi talked about what happened in his final season with PSG, especially in that bittersweet relationship with thousands of fans.

ā€œSince the beginning, the welcome they gave me was very nice. I’ve said it many times. Then, people started to treat me differently, a portion of the fans in Paris. I believe most of them are still looking and treating me as before, but, there was indeed a breakup with a huge part of the fans.ā€œ

Messi admitted that he never tried to confront them although there were all kind of insults while other players like Kylian Mbappe received all the support. In the end, at least for the fans, the legend had to take all the blame.

ā€œIt wasn’t my intention. It just happened like that as it previously occurred with Mbappe or with Neymar. I know that’s the way they act (fans), but, I’ve decided to keep for myself all that people who did respect me as I always respected everyone since I arrived. That’s it. It’s just an anecdote.ā€
