They assure that it was a coincidence: The story behind the photo of Messi with the PSG cracks

Lionel Messi said goodbye to FC Barcelona this Sunday in an emotional press conference in which he explained to the media that photograph in which he appears with the best PSG players during his holidays in Ibiza. The best Barça player of all time said that it was a coincidence and not a kind of anticipation of his arrival at Paris Saint-Germain, a club with which he is in negotiations, as recognized by the 34-year-old Argentine genius.

The six-time Ballon d'Or revealed that the meeting with ‘Ángel di María and Leandro Paredes had been agreed upon since the Copa América. Neymar, upon learning of Messi's presence in Ibiza, asked to meet with his former teammate at Barcelona. Marco Verratti also arrived at the place and the moment was immortalized just two days before the Catalan club announced the departure of '10', and is one and a half feet away from moving to the capital of France.

“The photo in Ibiza with the PSG players is bullshit. I was going to get together with Di María and Paredes, we already said it. We were going to spend the night. He calls me 'Ney' and he told me I'm in Ibiza, let's see each other. We all got together there, Verratti was also there. They told me to go to Paris, it was all a joke, a coincidence and a photo that was given more court than it has, "said the forward, who is looking for a club.
