Lionel Messi 'didn't have one good moment' during his Paris Saint-Germain spell due to Neymar's rivalry with Kylian Mbappe. A figure said to be close to the legendary Argentine has offered a rare insight into his uncomfortable two-year stint in the French capital, revealing he felt alienated and undermined amid internal tensions at the club.
Rodrigo De Paul has lifted the lid on the powerful influence Lionel Messi exerts on those around him, praising the Argentina captain’s ability to lead through action rather than words. The Atletico Madrid midfielder offered rare insight into Messi’s understated authority while also hinting that their on-field chemistry might soon be rekindled, this time in the MLS with Inter Miami.
David Beckham had a special message for Fernando Torres as the Liverpool legend linked up with Inter Miami superstar Lionel Messi and reunited with Luis Suarez and Javier Mascherano during his visit to Florida. The former Spanish striker dropped in at the Herons' training facility for a rendezvous with his old friends.
Former USMNT star Herculez Gomez sparked debate by saying Carlos Vela's record-setting 2019 campaign was more impressive than Lionel Messi's current Golden Boot-winning season, despite the Argentine's contributing to 48 goals in just 28 appearances. Vela scored 34 goals and contributed to 49 goals in 31 games in 2019.
Barcelona's decision to hand the legendary No. 10 shirt to teenage sensation Lamine Yamal has already paid off in spectacular fashion, with the club reportedly selling 70,000 jerseys within a single day. The wonderkid’s new status has triggered a merchandising boom that could prove crucial for the financially-strapped Catalan giants.
Inter Miami, who are aiming to win their maiden MLS Cup title, are also prioritising bagging the Leagues Cup this year, a title the club won in 2023 soon after Lionel Messi signed for the Herons. The World Cup-winning Argentina captain starred with a brace on Saturday as the David Beckham-owned side beat New York Red Bulls 5-1 in a MLS clash away from home.
