Vitinha admitted that before leaving PSG, Leo had some harsh words for the club:
"When Messi was leaving PSG, he said: 'You will never win the Champions League.' And today, we are heading to the Champions League final for the second year in a row, unlike those humiliating round of 16 exits."
Leo Messi played for PSG from 2021 to 2023. During his time in Paris, Leo made 75 appearances, scoring 32 goals and providing 35 assists. In the summer of 2023, Messi left PSG as a free agent to join Inter Miami, never managing to win the Champions League with the French giants.
