Messi told beIN Sports of his relationship with the club’s fans.
“I think in the beginning it was something wonderful.”
“But then some people started to treat me differently, a part of the Paris supporters.
I think the vast majority still see me and treat me as they did at the beginning,
but there was a fracture with a significant group of the Paris fans, which obviously wasn’t my intention, far from it.
“It happened just as it had happened before with [Kylian] Mbappe, with Neymar. I know that’s the way they behave.
“I’ll take away with me the people who respected me, as I always respected everyone since I arrived and that’s all.”
The 35-year-old ended two seasons in Ligue 1 with a record of 32 goals and 34 assists in 75 games, winning three trophies including the league title twice.
