Lionel Messi has revealed he wasn't happy during his time at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) between 2021 and 2023. In a candid interview with Apple Music, the Argentine superstar reflected on his Parisian adventure, painting a picture of dissatisfaction despite the team's successes.
Messi's Parisian Discontent
“I wasn't happy daily,” Messi stated bluntly, offering a glimpse into the challenges he faced during his time in the French capital. While he didn't elaborate on the specific reasons for his unhappiness, the revelation sheds light on a period often viewed as less successful compared to his legendary Barcelona career. His move to Inter Miami signalled a fresh start, and a chance to rediscover his joy for the game.
Donnarumma Steps Up
Meanwhile, back in Paris, PSG's current goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, has been putting in stellar performances. Recent weeks have seen him shine, providing reassurance in the net. He faced a particular challenge in the recent PSG-Lille match, coming up against Lucas Chevalier, a goalkeeper who has reportedly caught the eye of PSG scouts.
“Donnarumma has been a rock for us lately,” said one PSG fan on Twitter. “He’s really stepped up his game.”
PSG Advances Against Stade Briochin
In other news, PSG secured a victory against Stade Briochin in the quarter-finals, held in Rennes. Sergio Ramos played a key role in the win, helping the Parisians secure their place in the next round. Stade Briochin, from National 2 (the fourth tier of French football), put up a valiant fight, but the Parisian giants proved too strong.
The combination of Messi's reflection on his past, Donnarumma's present performance, and PSG's continued success makes for a dynamic period for the club and its followers.
