In a surprising turn of events, Leo Messi’s earlier comments about Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) appear to have been proven incorrect. PSG has made significant strides under coach Enrique, marking a new chapter in the club’s pursuit of European glory.
After their recent victory against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, 26-year-old central midfielder Vitinha shared a light-hearted anecdote regarding Messi’s departure from the club. Vitinha recalled Messi’s pointed remarks about PSG’s chances of winning the coveted Champions League.
“When Messi was leaving PSG, he said: ‘You will never win the Champions League.’ And today, we are heading to the Champions League final for the second year in a row, unlike those humiliating round of 16 exits.”
