It will soon be a year since Lionel Messi has been an Inter Miami player, and three since he moved from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, but the Argentine still cannot come to terms with leaving the Catalan capital.Arguably the best footballer in the world has said many times that he did not leave Barcelona voluntarily and that he had a great desire to finish his career in the club which was the only one for him until then, however, Blaugrana’s financial problems led to parting ways. There were tears at the press conference, and regardless of whether they were genuine or not, or whether Messi should have done things differently and found a way to stay (read: play for drastically less money than usual), the fact is that the Argentine was not pleased with the departure.##EDITORS_CHOICE##In Paris Saint-Germain, Messi was not in the mood to play, he did not contribute as the Qatari owners had hoped, and even before the end of the first season together, rumors began to circulate that he could return to Barcelona.”It was a difficult change for me when I went to Paris Saint-Germain. I was happy in Barcelona, I was doing well and I thought I would stay there for the rest of my career. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye, but everything happened quickly. My life turned around completely, I found myself in a new league, a new club, with new teammates. It was a change I didn’t ask for, so it was difficult for me at first,” Messi told the “Big Time” podcast from Saudi Arabia.##NAJAVA_MECA_7985261##Although he will turn 37 in less than three months (June 24), the trophy-winning Argentine is not yet thinking about the end of his career.”I’ll know it’s time to retire when I can no longer contribute to the team and when I’m no longer having fun on the pitch. I’m very self-critical, I know when I’m playing well and when I’m not and when I’m feeling good and when I’m bad. there will be no reason to retire, I will take that step when I feel the time has come, regardless of how old I will be then. As long as I feel good, I will continue to compete. It’s something I know how to do and I’m good at it.”📹 مقابة الأسطورة كاملة في بودكاست “BIG TIME”. 🐐 pic.twitter.com/0bgwvtKgtW— Messi World (@M10GOAT) March 27, 2024 And what after? It was mentioned that after his playing career, Messi will get one of the directorial positions in Barcelona.”I haven’t thought about it yet. I’m trying to enjoy every day, every moment of life, without thinking about the future. I don’t have anything defined yet, I hope I can play for a while longer, and when the time comes I’m sure I’ll find something else,” concluded Messi.
