The departure of footballer Lionel Messi from Spanish Barcelona to French Paris Saint-Germain was more painful than Cristiano Ronaldo’s transition from Real Madrid to Juventus Turin, La Liga head Javier Tebas said in an interview with Sport.es.
“Of course (Messi’s departure is bad for La Liga. – “B”), just like the departure of Ronaldo, Josep Guardiola or Jose Mourinho. We knew that this would happen one day. We are fortunate enough to have two of the best footballers in the world on the top two teams in the world, and La Liga has been able to take advantage of this to move to the forefront of the world. Perhaps Messi’s departure was a little more painful, because personally I consider him the best in history, and he did not deserve such a departure, “said Mr. Tebas (quoted by RIA Novosti).
Lionel Messi was unable to renew his contract with Barcelona for financial reasons. He entered into an agreement with PSG for two years with the possibility of an extension for another season. He is number 30.
