Foot: Neymar asserts that he and Lionel Messi went through a challenging period during their time at PSG

In an interview with O Globo in Brazil, Neymar didn’t hold back when discussing his time at PSG, especially in light of Lionel Messi’s departure to the MLS. He said, «I was very happy for him, for his season, even though he went through everything. He went to heaven with Argentina, and he went through hell in Paris. We both experienced some tough times. We did our best, became champions, and tried to make history… that’s why we played together again, him and me, to make history. Unfortunately, we couldn’t achieve it».

Neymar expressed his frustration regarding Messi’s departure, saying, «Messi didn’t deserve to leave like that. For everything he is, for what he has done… those who know him understand that he’s someone who trains hard, who fights. If he loses, he’s angry. I believe he was unfairly accused. But I was very happy that he won the World Cup. This time, football was fair. After Brazil’s elimination, Messi deserved to end his career like this».
