Reunited again under the Paris Saint-Germain tunic after their joint adventure in Barcelona, Neymar and Messi failed to take the Ile-de-France club to the top.
Two short seasons and then goes away. After joining PSG in the summer of 2021, Lionel Messi will already leave the club, after a mixed experience. If the Argentinian has won two French championship titles, his main objective, namely to win the Champions League, has not been achieved. Worse, with La Pulga, the Parisians stopped twice in the round of 16 of the competition.
Despite interesting statistics over the period (32 goals and 35 assists), it is difficult not to consider his time at Paris Saint-Germain as a sporting failure. The magic trio with Kylian Mbappé and Neymar unfortunately did not have the expected return. After the announcement of his departure, the Brazilian also paid tribute to his friend on social networks.
“It didn’t work out the way we thought it would”
The former FC Barcelona still drew up an acknowledgment of failure in his message: “BesidesvsIt didn’t work the way we thought it would, but we tried everything. It was a pleasure to share two more years with you. Good luck in your new stage and be happy. I like you.”
Hermano.. no salió como pensábamos pero intentamos de todo. Fue un place compartir 2 años mas con vos.
Muchas suerte en tu nueva etapa y que seas feliz. Te quiero#leomessi pic.twitter.com/6fkozlTUKi

A message to which the reigning world champion was quick to respond: “Thanks Ney! Beyond all that, we enjoyed replaying together and sharing daily life. I wish you the best. In addition to being a crack, you’re a beautiful person and that’s what ultimately counts. I love you very much Neymar Jr.”
As a reminder, two options are now available to Lionel Messi: return to FC Barcelona or join Saudi Arabia. For his part, Neymar could also be sold by Paris Saint-Germain during the summer transfer window.
