Not only the income, the negative consequence that Messi's departure had at PSG

PSG failed to value Lionel Messi and now regrets it more than three months after his departure. The club mistreated him on several occasions and the ultras themselves insulted and booed him in every game the team played at home in the Parc des Princes. Now, Inter Miami gave him a lesson on how to get the most out of the captain, which they make him enjoy and in France they regret it after seeing the negative consequences of letting Leo go.

On the one hand, the team led by Luis Enrique lost quality of play by doing without the best footballer in the world, but the departure also made people stop giving importance to the Ligue 1 champion. This, in turn, was translated into loss of interest from brands in working with PSG, which means less money in the coffers. However, one of the things that caught the most attention was the impact it had on social networks. Before Leo's last game, Paris Saint-Germain's Instagram account had 69.9 million followers. Now, that number has fallen to 65.8, although it is important to mention that Neymar's departure could also have played a role.

Finally, the poor management of Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Luis Campos with the squad they put together after the departure of the two South American stars through the back door was evident. And their replacements were lesser caliber footballers like Marco Asensio and Randal Kolo Muani and, as it could not be otherwise, they do not even lead Ligue 1. They are third behind Monaco and Nice.

The opposite happened at Inter Miami

While in the French capital they are now lamenting having lost millions of followers, in the United States exactly the opposite happened. Before it became known about Leo, the Herons did not even have 300 thousand followers on Instagram. However, since the Flea case was confirmed, they began to rise like wildfire and today they have 15.3 million. To take dimension, one of the best-known MLS clubs like LA Galaxy barely has 1.5. Messi effect at its best.
