This Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain will face Clermont at 16:00 (Brasilia time), at the Parque dos Príncipes stadium. The match, valid for the last round of the French championship, marks the farewell of Lionel Messi from the team, as confirmed by coach Christophe Galtier.
“I had the privilege of coaching the best player in football history. It will be Leo’s last game at the Parque dos Príncipe, against Clermont,” said the French captain at a press conference.
The French press had already reported the possible closure of the Argentine champion’s cycle at PSG. The current best in the world according to FIFA has a contract until the end of this season. However, it was the first time anyone had publicly denounced the breakup.
Lionel Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain in the 2021/22 season. At the club, the attacking midfielder played 74 games, with 32 goals scored and 34 assists. During the period he won the French championship and a French Super Cup. However, he did not fulfill his Champions League dream, being eliminated in the round of 16 in the two editions played, by Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
With the departure of PSG, the European press has placed two main destinations for the Argentine. One possibility is a return to Barcelona, hampered by the team’s financial situation. The other would go to Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, to renew the rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo at the time of El Clásico.
