What did PSG get from Lionel Messi in the first season? This question is for many. In particular, PSG supporters. PSG could not win the Champions League by blowing away one of the best footballers in the world from Barcelona! Real Madrid won the cup in front of the eyes. PSG realized again that you can't be the best in Europe just by having money. Messi, Neymar, Mbappe can be in the team, but the fans can't be satisfied just by seeing the stars if they don't get results on the field.
Messi's first season performance at the PSG is nothing compared to the last season in Barcelona. Messi has scored just 11 goals in the French league, where he scored 30 goals in Barcelona last season. However, he did not do badly in the Champions League, he scored 5 goals. But one of his penalty misses or the big reason for the departure of the PSG — there were rumors among the supporters.
So Messi did not give anything to PSG? Coach Mauricio Pachettino, however, does not think so. According to him, Messi has given a lot in the first season by joining PSG. Most importantly, where it is difficult to adapt from outside France, Messi has left his' basement 'and adapted to the PSG,' French football is a little different. It's a bit difficult to adapt when it comes to playing outside the club here. Everyone thought Messi would end his career in Barcelona.
Working with Messi as a coach is like a dream come true for Pachettino. 'I had a dream to work with Messi. It has been fulfilled. Messi has earned the respect and love of everyone since he came to PSG. In my opinion, Messi is a true leader. Not everyone can be a leader. Some people try to become leaders by shouting in the field. But they are not real leaders.
