The football planet experienced a real earthquake this summer. While everyone expected Lionel Messi to extend with FC Barcelona , a shattering statement from the Catalan club announced that this was ultimately going to be impossible. At the end of his term at Barça, Messi found himself free and it was PSG who won the day and hosted the six-fold Ballon d'Or. “For us it was just unthinkable” It took a long time to get used to the idea that Lionel Messi was now a player of PSG . It must be said that after 21 years at Barcelona , we never imagined the Argentinian packing his bags. This was particularly the case in the Parisian locker room. Indeed, for Canal +, Idrissa Gueye returned to his surprise when he saw Messi land at PSG : “Lionel Messi? We were all surprised and happy to have this phenomenon in our team. For us it was just unthinkable and exceptional that he left Barca to come. At the beginning you tell yourself what he is and in the end he is a human being, he is humble “.
