Messi joined PSG, who were willing to pay his wages.
The 38-year-old spent two years at Parc des Princes and left Paris in 2023.
The 2022 World Cup winner is now playing for Major League Soccer side, Inter Miami.
In an interview, Messi said, “I didn’t leave Barça as I had imagined to. I was left with a strange feeling after my departure…”
Messi left Barca during the COVID-19 pandemic when fans were not allowed into stadia and Messi lamented his unceremonious departure, adding, “I finished my final years without the fans.
“The farewell moment was also a bit strange because of the circumstances and everything surrounding it.”
Messi played his last game for the Catalans in May 2021, which they lost 2-1 to Celta Vigo in LaLiga in an empty Camp Nou.
