๐จ Lionel Messi often congratulates his former club and teammates on their achievements, but he DIDN'T congratulate PSG on winning their 2nd Champions League title! โ๐ฏ๐โฌ๏ธ
In fact, Lionel Messi follows 7 football clubs on Instagram but guess whoโs not on the list? PSG โ๐๐ฑ
Despite spending two seasons in Paris, Messi no longer follows PSG, having unfollowed the club shortly after his departure. ๐ฌ
And it's hardly surprising. PSG remains the only club that booed Lionel Messi while he was playing for them, despite him registering 67 goal contributions, winning multiple trophies, and helping maintain their domestic dominance. ๐๐
The 7 Teams Messi follows on Instagram:
๐ช๐ธ FC Barcelona โ His boyhood club, where he became a legend.
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Chelsea FC โ A surprise follow, but Messi has spoken highly of them before.
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Manchester City โ Home to Pep Guardiola, his former mentor.
๐บ๐ธ Inter Miami CF โ His current club and new football home.
๐ฆ๐ท Newellโs Old Boys โ His childhood team in Rosario, Argentina.
๐ฆ๐ท La Bajada FC โ A local amateur club with deep roots in Rosario.
๐บ๐พ Deportivo LSM โ Leo and Suรกrez have co-founded a new football club, which will compete in the Uruguayan fourth-tier league.
๐ Argentina National Team โ Of course, his beloved Albiceleste! ๐ฆ๐ท๐
Despite his legendary status, Messi's time at PSG was turbulent. The club never fully embraced him, even after he returned to Paris as a World Cup winner.
The lack of support, constant scrutiny, and boos from sections of the fanbase left a bitter taste and turned what should have been a dream partnership into a disappointing chapter. ๐๐
