Lionel Messi played in his final match with Paris Saint-Germain in its Ligue 1 home fixture against Clermont Foot on matchday 38. PSG announced before the match that Messi will not return to the club next season.
Multiple PSG players have since bid farewell to Messi, including Neymar. He shared a goodbye message to Messi on Instagram, and the Argentine later took to his Instagram Story to give his appreciation to the Brazilian forward.
“Thanks Ney!” Messi wrote. “Beyond all that remains, that we once again enjoyed playing together and sharing the day to day. I wish you all the best. Apart from being crack, you’re a beautiful person and that’s all that matters at the end. I love you so much.”
