If he has found a smile since his arrival at Inter Miami during the month of July, Lionel Messi does not forget this terrible summer of 2021 when he was pushed out by FC Barcelona.
After two seasons dragging out his sentence at Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi seems to have regained his joy of living and playing football at Inter Miami. With the home club of the American MLS, the Argentinian has already planted five goals and delivered an assist in just three Leagues Cup matches. What to see life in pink, two years after having experienced the greatest trauma of his football career.
On August 5, 2021, FC Barcelona officially announced that it was separating from “La Pulga”. Two decades spent in the service of the Catalan club abruptly ended for a Lionel Messi who had just returned from vacation and who did not expect such a scenario for a single moment. A dismissal that did not say his name and a man appeared in tears a few days later at the time of his departure speech. Devastated, Lionel Messi struggled to recover from this divorce.
PSG to his rescue
However, Paris Saint-Germain did what they could to give him a smile. Delighted with the opportunity to afford the best player in the world, the Parisian club welcomed him with open arms, offering him a salary and a contract worthy of his talent. But if the first times seemed to bring hope, nostalgia caught up with Lionel Messi and his whole family. The adaptation to Parisian life has never been perfect for the footballer’s wife and children.
For his part, Lionel Messi has gradually become a target for some of the PSG supporters. Little or no communication, a propensity to return to the locker room without greeting the fans after the end of the match. And the bond is definitely distended. Two years ago to the day, on August 6, 2021, the sports press headlined the end of the love story between the Argentinian and FC Barcelona. Today, everyone goes their own way.
