LIONEL MESSI has slammed Paris Saint-Germain after revealing he and his family have been unhappy for the last two years.
The superstar joined the Ligue 1 giants in the summer of 2021 after failing to agree reduced terms with Barcelona.
But the World Cup-winner endured a miserable spell in France, despite winning to domestic titles.
And he was even booed regularly by PSG fans at home games this season.
Now Messi has decided to leave upon the expiration of his contract and has agreed a lucrative deal with MLS outfit Inter Miami, despite interest from Barca and clubs in Saudi Arabia.
And he fired a parting shot at Paris, saying he and his family were unhappy.

He told Mundo Deportivo: “These were two years in which I was not happy.
“I did not enjoy myself, and that affected my family life. I missed a lot of my children’s lives at school.
“[They] were difficult for me. But they are behind me.”
Messi’s arrival in Miami has been well received with fans taking to the streets in celebrations – waving Argentina flags and tooting car horns.
