Neymar on Messi’s World Cup win with Argentina and his time at PSG

When asked about Messi’s World Cup win with Argentina last year, the 31-year-old said in an interview with the Brazilian portal Globoesporte that he was happy for the reigning World Player of the Year and sad at the same time.

“He went to heaven with the Argentina national team, has won everything in recent years. And he went through hell with Paris,” said Neymar. “We’ve been through hell, he and I.” Neymar didn’t go into detail, but said Messi had been unfairly criticized in Paris and did not deserve the way he left there from a footballing point of view.

Before Messi’s move to the United States to Inter Miami this summer, he and Neymar had played two seasons together at French series champions PSG. The two South American offensive stars had already been teammates from 2013 to 2017, at that time still in Spain at FC Barcelona. Messi recently said in a press conference that he didn’t want to leave Barcelona and that he had a difficult time at PSG. At Miami, the 36-year-old won his first nine games, scoring 11 goals and leading the team to the Leagues Cup. Neymar moved to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia a few weeks ago for around 90 million euros.
