“I Had the Intention of Returning to Barcelona but It Wasn’t Possible” – Messi
Lionel Messi has opened up about his desire to return to Barcelona but admitted that it never materialized.
After leading Argentina to victory in the 2022 World Cup, Messi was eager to make a comeback to the La Liga side. However, things didn’t fall into place, and he eventually made the move to Major League Soccer, signing with Inter Miami after leaving Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent.
“I wanted to return to Barcelona and go back to the place I always loved, but it just wasn’t possible,” Messi shared in an interview with Simplemente Fútbol.
He explained that after that, his decision on where to play next became a family matter, with the World Cup win playing a significant role. “I knew I didn’t want to play for any other European team,” he said.
Messi spent 17 seasons at Barcelona, collecting 35 trophies, including 10 La Liga titles and 4 Champions League wins. At Inter Miami, he has already secured two titles: the 2023 Leagues Cup and the 2024 MLS Supporters’ Shield.
Pep Guardiola reveals why he left Manchester City. It can be recalled that the manager recently left Man City, and now he has revealed his reason during an interaction with reporters.
He shared that he is running out of energy.
“I share the same feeling as when Jurgen Klopp left, I am running out of energy. I feel like I will not have the energy that is required for a game every three days, to fight for titles, being in front of the players every day.”
He then added that he believes the club should have a new manager with fresh energy to direct the team.
Football legend Paul Merson praises Mikel Arteta on his win this season and shares good luck to him in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain.
He praised the manager, saying that Arteta really pushed the club to the best and the win is well deserved.
“Congratulations to Arsenal once again. It is a well-deserved win after 22 years. We can’t wait to see the 30th of May and see if it’s a double win.”
Luis Enrique, manager of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), praised Arsenal F.C. and called them the best team in the world after their win in the Premier League.
He shared: “I believe they deserve to win the league — they have had an outstanding season.
“We have already faced this Arsenal team, so we are aware of their capabilities.
“Without the ball, they are the best team in the world, and with it, they can score frequently. This creates a remarkable combination for them.”
