PSG head coach, Christophe Galtier, has officially confirmed that Argentine football legend Lionel Messi is departing the club. Messi, who joined PSG in August 2021, will be playing his last match for the team against Clermont on June 3, marking the end of his two-year stint at PSG.
Galtier expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to coach the greatest player in the history of football, acknowledging Messi's contributions and availability throughout the season. The coach hopes that Messi receives a warm farewell from the fans at Parc des Princes, emphasizing the privilege of accompanying him during his time at the club.
During his time at PSG, Messi has been influential, scoring 21 goals and providing 20 assists in 40 appearances this season. Notably, he contributed 16 goals and 16 assists in 31 Ligue 1 matches. While PSG secured their 11th Ligue 1 title, their pursuit of a Champions League trophy ended in disappointment as they were eliminated in the last 16 stage.
Despite his success with the Argentina national team, winning the World Cup in December, Messi's tenure at PSG has faced challenges. He has faced criticism from sections of PSG fans and was suspended by the club for an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia, where he has a commercial contract. This incident has fueled speculation of a potential move to Saudi Arabia after the season concludes.
Moreover, rumors have circulated about a possible return to Barcelona, his former club, where he achieved numerous accolades including 10 La Liga titles and four Champions League victories. Another option that has emerged is a potential move to Inter Miami, the MLS team owned by David Beckham.
As Messi bids farewell to PSG, the football world eagerly awaits his next destination, which will undoubtedly shape the next chapter of his illustrious career.[/blockquote]
