Today under the colors of Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi (34) still surprises some to no longer play in the blaugrana shirt of FC Barcelona.

After making his big debut with PSG on the lawn of the Stade de Reims (0-2), at the end of the 4th day of Ligue 1, its former president, Joan Laporta, admitted to having trouble seeing his former captain playing with the jersey of another club.

“We were saddened and disappointed when we saw his debut at PSG ... a strange feeling to see him with another jersey. We won't see him here anymore, but he's a rival now and maybe we'll play against each other ... it was weird and I didn't like it. This is not the end I had imagined for Messi at Barça."

He explained in an interview with Esport 3. "We will see, we will always have eternal recognition for him. Leo will always be from Barca, he's a real Barcelonista. We were pressured to sign the CVC deal with La Liga. We had a pre-deal with Leo for a long time, but La Liga didn't accept it in the end.”

The departure of Lionel Messi has still not been digested well in Catalonia.
