Lionel Messi insisted he did not
make a mistake leaving boyhood club, Barcelona FC for Ligue 1 giants Paris
Saint-Germain.
Messi joined PSG on a free
transfer after Barca were unable to re-sign the six-time Ballon d’Or winner due
to their financial crisis.
It ended Messi’s long-standing
association with Barca, having made his senior debut for the LaLiga powerhouse
in 2004-05.
Messi won 35 trophies at Camp
Nou, scoring a record 672 goals across all competitions.
Now settling into life with PSG
in the French capital, Messi said he is happy with his decision.
“I didn’t make a mistake in going to PSG,”
Messi told France Football in a preview of his interview, which will be
published in full on Saturday.
Since making the move to PSG,
Messi has scored once – a goal in the club’s 2-0 Champions League win over
Manchester City.
The 34-year-old is yet to find
the back of the net in Ligue 1, where PSG suffered a shock 2-0 loss at Rennes
last week.
It snapped PSG’s perfect start to
the league season after eight consecutive wins, though Messi’s men are still
six points clear atop the table through nine rounds.
