After years of rivalry at El Clasico games, Lionel Messi met PSG teammate Sergio Ramos, who was previously part of Real Madrid for 16 years. Needless to say, a video of the former adversaries hugging each other has gone viral on social media.
Soon after Messi joined French Club Paris Saint Germain (PSG) after leaving Barcelona a couple of days ago, Ramos had informed a news agency that he was looking forward to playing with Messi. The Argentine striker also followed Ramos on Instagram not long after. Expressing his excitement to be starting a new chapter of his life, Messi recently said, I am excited to begin a new chapter of my career at Paris Saint-Germain. Everything about the club matches my football ambitions. I know how talented the squad and the coaching staff are here. I am determined to help build something special for the club and the fans, and I am looking forward to stepping out onto the pitch at the Parc des Princes.
The six-time Ballon d'Or winner, who has been a free agent ever since his contract expiry with Barcelona at the end of June, left the Spanish club due to their economic and structural obstacles. Messi was Barcelona's all-time top scorer with 672 goals in 778 games in all competitions.
