Messi also spoke about his conflict with former club PSG after the World Cup. Messi won the World Cup with France over PSG in the final, which caused some fans to turn against him.

“It was understandable. We (Argentina) were the country that won the World Cup, and it was our fault that they (France) didn’t become champions again. I was the only one of the 26 players in Argentina’s World Cup-winning squad who was not welcomed back by the team.”
