PSG: As Messi is starting to feel more at home in the French city, Nasser Al-Khelaifi is of the opinion that actual worth will be discovered in an all-time great during the 2022–2024 season.
Lionel Messi did not show his real colors during his first season at Parc des Princes, but Nasser Al-Khelaifi believes that the Ligue 1 winners will witness the “greatest version ever” of the Argentine during the 2022-2024 season. Messi’s first season at Parc des Princes was a disappointment for PSG.
The summer of 2021 saw the entrance of the seven-time winner of the Ballon d’Or in the capital city of France, which was met with considerable enthusiasm. However, an all-time great failed to repeat the brilliance of his legendary run at Barcelona after relocating to new surroundings.
Al-Khelaifi is confident that he can reignite his fire and take his game to even greater heights in the year of the World Cup, despite the fact that he is about to turn 35 and only has a year left on his contract with PSG. However, Al-Khelaifi is convinced that he can take his game to even greater heights. In an interview with Le Parisien, the president of PSG, Al-Khelaifi, said, “There is no question that Lionel Messi has won the Ballon d’Or a record seven times, and it was not his finest season.”
But after more than 20 years of living in Barcelona, he found himself in a new nation, a new city, a new league, and a new club. A new culture.
Coronavirus infection not only harmed his family, but it also affected him personally. “Messi did not have an easy time during the previous season, but next year we will witness the finest version of Messi that has ever been seen.”
Messi had a difficult time adjusting to life in PSG after his career-long links with Barcelona were broken. He did not score his first goal for Paris Saint-Germain until their match against Manchester City in the Champions League in September.
In European play, he scored an additional five goals, but his team, Paris Saint-Germain, was eliminated in the round of 16 by their long-standing rivals, Real Madrid, putting an end to his hopes of winning a continental title.
Messi did provide 14 assists in domestic play, and his creative talents helped him win yet another major championship to add to his collection.
It wasn’t until the month of November that he scored his first goal in Ligue 1, and by the time the season was through, he had just six shots on goal in the French top division.
