Messi has opened up about his two seasons in Paris in terms lacking a touch of elegance. "During those two years, I wasn't happy, I didn't have fun, and it affected my family life," he says.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner admits that he was forced to make "a hasty decision" during his forced departure from a Barça he has never stopped "loving" "Beyond the fact that the love is still there and reciprocated, it was a strange feeling to hear it at Camp Nou and not be there," he adds.
