The eight-time Ballon d’Or champion departed Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023, opting to pursue the American dream by joining MLS outfit Inter Miami. After a stunning move from Barcelona, Messi spent two years in the French capital, yet struggled to fully win over the demanding fan base.
Despite challenges, Messi’s numerous qualities found appreciation at Parc des Princes. His creative prowess continued to deliver a healthy number of assists even as his once-prolific goal-scoring slowed down.
Mbappe frequently reaped the benefits of Messi’s talent in unlocking defensive setups. The 2018 World Cup victor, who narrowly missed out on a global title to Messi at Qatar 2022, shared on Amazon Prime Sport how much he misses playing alongside the Argentine maestro: “The absence of playing with Leo Messi is a big void. Missing out on playing with Leo Messi is something an attacker like me feels deeply. With him, there was a guarantee of receiving the ball, especially for someone who thrives on attacking spaces like myself. It was a luxury that almost solely he could provide. Beyond that, the experience of playing with Messi was truly special.”
Messi netted 32 goals in 75 appearances for PSG, contributing to two Ligue 1 triumphs. However, Mbappe has now taken the reins in Paris, with Brazilian superstar Neymar also departing for new horizons. Neymar is presently recuperating from knee ligament damage at Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal.
