Messi feels good after ‘hard’ first year at PSG
Amidst speculation that Lionel Messi could leave PSG after this year, he says that he “feels good” after his rough start in Paris
Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi has had an impressive last year. After winning the World Cup with Argentina in December, he’s back with PSG and has already been involved in 25 goals this season.
That’s quite the change from his debut season with the team, in which he only scored six times and had 14 assists (for Messi at least, that’s not much). It was never a secret that Messi had a hard time adjusting to life in Paris after spending 20 years with Barcelona.
Now, Messi says he’s feeling good and enjoying his time with the club.
“In my first year, I had a hard time adapting to Paris for various reasons, but this season, I started it differently,” He said.
“With a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of desire, and I’m more comfortable with the club, the city, and everything that defines Paris.”
“It was my turn to come to a new club with the goal of being able to win the title with Paris, to be able to achieve the objectives that we set at the beginning of the season.”
Messi scored the opener in PSG’s 4-2 win over Nantes on Saturday and needs to be on top form for their return fixture against Bayern Munich in the Champions League this week.
