From icon to outcast: PSG brace for Messi reunion as Club World Cup pits them against Inter Miami
ATLANTA, June 28 — Paris Saint-Germain have come to the Club World Cup as newly crowned champions of Europe, but a meeting with the Inter Miami of Lionel Messi in the last 16 this Sunday brings back memories of unhappier times for the French club. PSG's stunning 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan in Munich at the end of last month which allowed them to win the UEFA Champions League for the first time completed an incredible season for the Qatar-backed side under the coaching of Luis Enrique. It is no coincidence that PSG achieved their crowning glory in their first season after definitively shifting their focus away from signing superstar players to instead allow a brilliant coach to work with a hungry, dynamic young team. Kylian Mbappe's move a year ago to Real Madrid followed the departures in 2023 of Neymar, the world's most expensive signing when he joined in 2017, and Messi, in the same summer Luis Enrique was appointed. When PSG pounced in August 2021 to sign Messi after a cash-strapped Barcelona were unable to keep him, the French side logically thought the Argentinian could be the man to deliver elusive Champions League glory. Messi, who was 34 at the time, thought the same thing. 'My dream is to win another Champions League and I think I am in the ideal place to have that chance and to do it,' he said at his unveiling. Alas, it did not work out that way, either in Messi's first season in Paris, under compatriot Mauricio Pochettino in 2021/22, or in the next campaign under Christophe Galtier. PSG had got to the Champions League final and then semi-finals in the two seasons prior to Messi's arrival, so he looked like the final piece in the jigsaw. Instead they went backwards with him in the side, going out of Europe's elite club competition in the last 16 two years running. All is not forgiven Having to fit in Messi – with his estimated annual salary of 30 million euros (US$35.2 million) after tax – as well as Neymar and Mbappe may have increased the star appeal, but it weakened them as a team. Towards the end the Barcelona legend was even being jeered by some sections of the PSG support who felt Messi's commitment to the cause was not what it should have been. Messi was a PSG player when he inspired Argentina to World Cup glory in Qatar in late 2022, but there were only flashes of his genius at club level in France. His statistics stand up to any scrutiny, with 32 goals and 35 assists in 75 appearances, and he did win two Ligue 1 titles while helping increase PSG's value as a brand. But one memorable quote by a columnist in French sports daily L'Equipe rather summed things up. 'PSG have not been better than they were before because of he seemed to have as much desire to play in Ligue 1 as he did to go to the dentist,' wrote Vincent Duluc. Fast forward two years and Messi is enjoying the twilight of his career in Major League Soccer with Inter Miami, the team he has helped to qualify for the knockout stage of this Club World Cup. Fate has therefore thrown up a last-16 showdown with PSG on Sunday in Atlanta, at the same stadium where he scored a marvellous free-kick to secure a 2-1 win over Porto last week. 'All is not forgiven', said the front page of L'Equipe in France on Friday as it described the feelings of 'failure and bitterness' left behind from the Argentine's spell there. Miami coach Javier Mascherano, meanwhile, believes the unhappy memory of his time in Paris could spur Messi on. 'It's clear that for us it's better if he plays angry, because he's one of those players who, when he has something on his mind, gives an extra effort,' Mascherano told ESPN. With Luis Enrique and PSG boasting big ambitions of adding a world title to their European crown, there would be even more bitterness felt if Messi – days after his 38th birthday – managed to knock them out on Sunday. — AFP

Lionel Messi felt Kylian Mbappe was 'protected' by PSG during bitter feud with Neymar as new details over the Argentine's difficult spell in Paris emerge
Lionel Messi was claimed to believe that Kylian Mbappe was 'protected' by PSG throughout the Argentine's spell in Paris. A source who alleges to be close to the Argentine said that Messi, 38, found life difficult in Paris because he was used to being 'a God' while at Barcelona. When Messi signed for PSG in 2021, it was viewed as a major coup for the French side in their pursuit of becoming the best team in Europe. He completed a formidable forward line that saw him line up alongside Neymar and Mbappe - only for the trio to struggle together on the pitch. While PSG won the Ligue 1 title during both of Messi's seasons in the French capital, Messi appeared to struggle with the dynamics of the club compared to the superstardom he enjoyed at Barcelona. Now, in an interview with French publication L'Equipe, an individual appeared to lift the lid on why he may have been unhappy at PSG. They said: 'He didn't have one good moment in Paris. He couldn't go out. He found himself in the middle of the Neymar-Mbappé rivalry. 'He even felt that the club protected the Frenchman and didn't even honour his World Cup title. In Barcelona, he was a God. 'He was used to taking his kids to school, the sun… it was a lot of things combined'. One such incident that appeared to spell the end of Messi's brief spell at the Parc des Princes came in May 2023, when he was suspended for two weeks after making an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia. The trip was not sanctioned by then-manager Christophe Galtier and, although Messi was re-integrated following his suspension, he opted to join MLS side Inter Miami at the end of that season. Indeed, neither Mbappe nor Neymar remain at the club, with the Frenchman having joined Real Madrid while the Brazilian returned to boyhood club Santos after struggling for form at Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. But PSG dealt with the loss of the trio in spectacular fashion by winning last season's Champions League under Spaniard Luis Enrique. Enrique's side knocked out Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool en route to the trophy as they romped home to victory in the final by beating Inter Milan 5-0. Messi could be set for a reunion with his former club on Sunday, as Inter Miami face PSG in the last-16 of the Club World Cup.

Raphinha praises Nico Williams amid possible Barcelona move: Player of highest quality
Barcelona's attacking star, Raphinha, is not surprised that the club is linked to the signing of Spanish forward Nico Williams, as he deems the winger to be a player of the highest the start of the 2024-25 season, the Spanish giants have been linked with the transfer, and reports suggest that the move could finally happen soon. Many will also be keen on seeing how the side will line up, considering that Raphinha had taken the left-wing role, albeit playing with more freedom, while Lamine Yamal tends to stick to the right no coincidence that he's being considered to play with us at Barcelona and for the Spanish national team. He's a player of the highest quality. He has a very high level, a lot of quality," Raphinha was quoted as saying by Mundo Deportivo. Should the Spaniard make the switch, Raphinha remains unfazed and would welcome his arrival. Instead, he wants to nurture a culture within the team where everyone is willing to put in the work and not play for their self-interest."There's no room for sadness or depression about anything, with the arrival of one or another. As I said, any teammate who arrives intending to work hard to help the team will be very welcome, both by me and by the other players. That's the most important thing," he star attacker also opened up about how players have not had the chance to celebrate their major victories properly due to the hectic scheduling with the addition of the FIFA Club World Cup. He mentioned how some of his national teammates from PSG have yet to celebrate their Champions League victory as well."Giving up vacations out of obligation is complicated. For example, PSG's Marquinhos and Beraldo played in the Champions League final; they didn't even get to celebrate properly, and they travelled here to South America to play for their national team. The second game ended, and they came back straight to represent their club and play in the World Cup. They haven't stopped yet," he now, Raphinha and the club are enjoying some time away from the pitch as they are not participating in the FIFA Club World Cup. With some time off, Raphinha hopes that he can get back to his best form at the start of the new season and once again show why he is amongst the best in the world, regardless of whether the club sign Nico Williams or not.- Ends
