Messi’s move away from Barcelona was driven by the club’s financial situation. Although he is still adjusting to life away from Camp Nou, having spent 21 remarkable years at the club, Messi has only managed to score once in his first five appearances for PSG across all competitions. However, despite feeling “a little bit lost” in Paris, the six-time Ballon d’Or winner acknowledges that having teammates who speak the same language has been beneficial.
In an interview with France Football, Messi stated, “I knew I was coming to a new country and had to start from scratch. Knowing that I had friends in the dressing room made me think that things would be easier to adapt to. And I was not wrong, because it was very easy to settle, especially because there are many players who speak Spanish, like me, and some friends like ‘Ney’ [Neymar], ‘Lea’ [Leandro Paredes], ‘Fideo’ [Angel Di Maria], who helped me when I arrived.”

One notable teammate mentioned by Messi was Kylian Mbappé, the French star who recently informed PSG of his decision not to renew his contract. Messi commended Mbappé’s proficiency in the Spanish language, saying, “With a player like [Mbappé], it’s easy to get along. Also, Kylian speaks perfect Spanish, so we have good exchanges off the pitch as well. It makes things easier. Now, I’ve only been here a short time, so it’s still a bit early to draw conclusions. But I’m sure it will work out well.”
Despite receiving three bids, including one worth up to €200 million for Mbappé, PSG rejected all offers. The attacking trio of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappé is highly anticipated, as Messi and Neymar previously formed two-thirds of the fearsome ‘MSN’ trident at Barcelona alongside Luis Suarez, tallying an impressive 364 goals in 450 combined appearances. However, in their initial performances for PSG, Messi and Neymar have only contributed one goal each, while Mbappé has scored four and provided five assists across all competitions.
