• Messi PSG - Barça: The story of a scorn

  • Presentation "It will be strange to go home with another shirt"

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi

defends his territory with tremendous ferocity. The

Barcelona

can attest. In recent years, it has been closed again and again in the band whenever the Barcelona entity has been interested in one of the stars of PSG. And when he had to move, he pulled the checkbook to take

Neymar

from the Camp Nou. Now, it is Real Madrid who is in front of him.

Florentino Pérez

has never hidden that he wants

Kylian Mbappé to

be his next galactic, but the arrival of Leo Messi seems that, instead of facilitating it, it will be a new obstacle in the plan of the white president.

Al-Khelaïfi took advantage of the presentation of the Argentine star with PSG, to mark territory before Messi's accomplice smile.

"Everyone knows the future of Kylian: he is a PSG player and will stay. He is very competitive and has a winning mentality. He has openly said that he does not want to leave PSG, but that he wants a competitive team, and we cannot do it anymore. Competitive. Now with Messi he no longer has an excuse to ask for more, "said the top leader of the Parisian team.

Messi

, of course, also wooed him, without concealing that he burns with the desire to play at his side.

Not surprisingly, he knows very well how he spends them.

As a more recent example, it is enough to remember the French forward's display in the first leg of the last 16 of the last Champions League that faced Barça with PSG at the Camp Nou.

"Playing with Neymar and Mbappé is crazy," said the Argentine, who tried to sneak away as he could to get into more details, even when streamer

Ibai Llanos

wanted to pull his tongue out at him. The presence of Llanos, invited by the new and glittering star of the French club to rub shoulders in his first interviews with media such as

ESPN

or

Al-Jazeera

, gave Messi's first day in Paris a fresh touch among so many ties and solemnity.

Mbappé

and his future were indirect protagonists of a day designed to give even more hype and saucer to the glory of an operation that, a couple of weeks ago, seemed little less than unthinkable.

Messi

has left Barça, and has done so to go to a rival that arouses great anger among Barça players in recent times. A feeling that, of course, has found a response on the streets of Paris.

Hence, many PSG followers will dedicate sounded expletives towards the Barça entity to celebrate, even more if possible, the fact of having snatched what has been their banner for more than three decades. It would only have made the blow for the culé fans even more painful if the arrival of Messi would have facilitated the signing of Mbappé, who ends his contract in June 2022 and has not yet renewed, for Madrid. But, once again, it seems that PSG will find a way to haggle the UEFA Financial Fair Play.

Meanwhile, Messi exchanged the heartfelt tears and his coldness with Laporta last Sunday for smiles and a fierce hug with

Al-Khelaïfi

and with Leonardo, sports director of the French team. He hopes, yes, that his old fans know how to understand his commitment to PSG. “Before I knew where I was going to go, I already told the Barça fans that I will always be grateful to them for the love they gave me. They knew that I was going to go to a strong team, to fight for the Champions League, because they know me. I am a winner and I want to continue achieving goals, "he said. And how will he face a hypothetical clash in the Champions League? With mixed feelings: "On the one hand, it would be nice to go back to Barcelona, ​​hopefully with people, but it will be very strange to go home with another shirt."

His objective is very clear: to reign in Europe again.

For this reason, the spectacular

PSG

squad

has been decisive for him.

“It is a team that is done, beyond the signings of this summer.

I come to help, with great enthusiasm and more desire than ever.

My illusion and my dream is to raise another Champions League, and I believe that I have reached the ideal place to have more options to achieve it ».

With

Mbappé by

the side, of course.
