the essentials in brief
Neymar made negative comments about his time at PSG. He and Lionel Messi “went through hell” in Paris. Both left the club in the summer.
When asked about Messi’s winning the World Cup 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 was sad at the same time.
“Went through hell”
“He went to heaven with the Argentina national team and 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 didn’t deserve the way he left there from a footballing point of view.
