这笔交易对富裕的巴黎圣日耳曼俱乐部来说是一个巨大的成功，他们将在已经强大的锋线上增加一名伟大的球员，目前锋线成员包括巴西的内马尔和年轻的法国人姆巴佩。梅西并没有向记者透露交易的细节。几天前，巴塞罗那表示，由于西甲的同工同酬，公平竞争原则，他们负担不起留下梅西的费用。梅西的父亲也在机场，他证实了法国和西班牙媒体的报道，即梅西已经和巴黎圣日耳曼达成协议。The agreement is a major coup for wealthy PSG, who will add one of the greatest players of all time to an already formidable front line that includes Brazil's Neymar and young Frenchman Kylian Mbappe.Messi gave no details of the deal to reporters as he arrived at Barcelona airport, days after the Spanish club said it could not afford to keep him because of La Liga's fair play rules.But the 34-year-old Argentine midfielder's father, who was also at the airport, confirmed reports by French newspaper L'Equipe and Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo that Messi had reached an agreement with PSG.Trophies won by Barcelona while Lionel Messi played for the club are on display at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona, Spain, on August 8, 2021. /CFP
从04/05赛季开始，梅西为巴萨一线队效力，一共在一线队踢了17个赛季，总计为巴萨出场778次打进672球，这两项数据都是巴萨历史第一。梅西助巴萨夺得35座冠军，包括西甲10冠、国王杯7冠、西超杯8冠、欧冠4冠、欧超杯3冠和世俱杯3冠。梅西的个人荣誉层面，包括6次获得金球奖，以及总计22次斩获西甲、欧冠、国王杯、世俱杯、美洲杯等赛事的当届最佳射手。梅西还是学生时代时，从阿根廷来到巴塞罗那，加盟了拉马西亚青训营。在梅西辉煌的、满载奖杯的职业生涯即将结束时，许多巴塞罗那球迷都感到心烦意乱。周二，球迷们在巴黎郊外的勒布尔热机场等待这位球员的到来，并高呼：“梅西，梅西，梅西。”绿茵英雄，永不迟暮。祝梅西接下来的旅途一路顺风！
