Manager Christophe Galtier has announced that Lionel Messi will play his last match for Paris St-Germain (PSG) against Clermont on Saturday.
The 35-year-old Argentine forward had confirmed to BBC Sport in May that he would be leaving the club when his contract expires this summer.
Reflecting on Messi’s tenure at PSG, Galtier expressed his gratitude, saying, “I had the privilege of coaching the best player in the history of football.” He also emphasized the significance of the upcoming match, stating, “This will be his last match at the Parc des Princes, and I hope that he will receive the warmest of welcomes.”
Since joining PSG on a free transfer from Barcelona in July 2021, Messi played a crucial role in helping the team secure two consecutive French Ligue 1 titles.
Initially, there was an agreement in principle between Messi and PSG to extend his stay by another year, but the club later changed their decision.
As fans eagerly anticipate Messi’s final appearance in PSG colours, the football world prepares to bid farewell to one of the greatest players of all time.
The impact Messi has made during his time at the club will be celebrated, and his contributions to the sport will forever be etched in football history.
