Leo Messi is happy in Miami, things are going very well for both him and his family, who have adapted perfectly to life in the United States.
The Argentine gave an interview to the show ‘Olga’ in which he shared how he is adapting to his new reality, but also left a message to PSG when he was questioned about his time in Paris and if he would have preferred not to play for the Parisian club.

“That’s how it happened. The truth is that it didn’t go the way I expected, but I always say that things happen for a reason and even though I wasn’t doing well there, it was my turn to be a world champion there,” Messi told Olga.
“Everything happens for a reason and if it had to be like that…”
However, Messi feels that one of the biggest issues he had was a lack of recognition for winning the World Cup once he returned to France after Qatar 2022.

It was a tricky spot for the Parisian club to be in, knowing Kylian Mbappe had previously wanted to leave the club and was unhappy at that time as well, and he had just been on the losing side of the World Cup final against Messi’s Argentina.
“It was understandable. I was in the place where we had won the final and it was our fault that France hadn’t won the World Cup this time. I was the only player who didn’t get recognition, apart from my 25 other players, but that’s OK,” said Messi.
What is Messi’s relationship with Kylian Mbappe like?
One of the main points of conjecture during Messi’s time at PSG was just how well he and Mbappe actually got along.
There were rumors of a split in the camp and a rivalry between the pair, yet Messi himself has sought to shed some light on the situation.
“With Kylian my relationship is fine, just like with the rest of the squad,” he concluded.
