What They Said

Neymar added on Messi’s decision to walk away as a free agent, with the seven-time Ballon d’Or needing a fresh start in order to start playing with a smile on his face again at club level: “Messi left in a way that, for football, he didn’t deserve. For everything he is, everything he does, anyone who knows him knows, he is a guy who trains, who fights, if he loses he gets angry, and he was unfairly treated in my opinion. But at the same time I was very happy that he won the World Cup. As you said, football was fair this time, since the Brazilian team lost, Messi deserved to end his career like this.”

Unfortunately, these hopes were shattered as Neymar’s stint at the Ligue 1 club was plagued by recurring injuries.

However, the French giant once again was left to bite the dust as the union of the iconic trio was marred with a consecutive round of 16 in the UCL.
