The Brazilian Neymar, former teammate and friend of Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain, assured that both lived “hell” during their time in the French team.
“I was very happy for the year that Messi had but, at the same time, I was sad because he lived on both sides of the coin. He touched heaven with the Argentina National Team, he won everything in recent years but with Paris he lived through hell, we both lived through it, both he and I… ”, Neymar revealed in an interview with Globo Esporte.
Neymar and Messi met again at Paris Saint-Germain after a glorious stage in Barcelona but the experience ended badly for both as the Argentine chose to continue his career at Inter Miami, while the former Santos was transferred to the millionaire Arab football.
“We were upset because we didn’t go for nothing, we wanted to do our best, be champions and try to make history. That’s why we returned to play together but unfortunately we didn’t make it…”, lamented the Brazilian star, a brand new figure for Al Hilal, from Saudi Arabia.
“Messi didn’t deserve this departure from PSG because of everything he is, what he does and whoever knows him knows that he is someone who trains, who fights, who gets angry when he loses. And he was treated unfairly. That’s why I was very happy that he managed to win the World Cup. Football was fair this time, after the elimination of Brazil, Messi deserved to end his career like this, ”added the number 10 of Brazil.
