Neymar spoke during an interview with the famous Brazilian newspaper “Globo” on Sunday, September 3, 2023, saying: “I was very happy for Lionel Messi after he succeeded in winning the FIFA World Cup in Qatar 2022, but at the same time, I am extremely sad because of the difficult period that Messi experienced with the Parisian team. He went from the hell of the Parisian team to the paradise of the Argentine national team.”
Neymar added in his statements: “Lionel Messi has won everything during his football career, but he went through an extremely tough period within the ranks of Paris Saint-Germain, We lived together in a state of distress within the team, We came together to Paris to make history and become champions, but we failed to achieve that.”
Neymar concluded his statements by saying: “Lionel Messi left the ranks of Paris Saint-Germain in a way he didn’t deserve at all. He was unfairly accused, but I was extremely happy for him to win the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Football has been very fair to him this time.”
