Lionel Messi, the star of Paris Saint-Germain, admitted that he cried on his children’s first day of school in the French capital following leaving the Spanish city of Barcelona, revealing that he and his family were not accustomed to the coldness of the city, which made them spend most of the winter near the stove in search of warmth.
And Messi suddenly moved from Barcelona, with whom he spent his entire professional career, and moved to Paris Saint-Germain for free.
Messi said in an interview with the Argentine “YT Sport”: My children’s adaptation to Paris was fast and wonderful and they did not find any problem in changing, but for me and my wife Antonella it was very difficult, I remember when we took the children to school on the first day, we came back crying strongly.
He continued: I lived in Barcelona more than I lived in Argentina, and I did not plan to change anything, I am no longer young, but it happened, it was a very difficult year.
And he continued: We were not used to the bitter cold of Paris. Barcelona was cold during the winter, but the temperatures were not very low, and we were sitting near the fire to search for warmth, and it was very difficult.
And regarding the whistles fired by the Paris fans towards him, he replied: It was something very new to me, it never happened to me with Barcelona.
