The Argentine recently announced that he will be joining Inter Miami as a free agent next. Messi looked back at his PSG stint, telling beIN Sport:
“At first it was great. I received a lot of encouragement, as I have often said, but then people started to treat me differently, part of the public in Paris."
"The majority treated me well. But there was a break with a good part of the Parisian public. Of course that was not my intention, nothing more. But these are things that have happened before with Mbappe and Neymar too, it's their way of doing things. But it remains anecdotal."
