The French side had star-studded players like Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Messi himself, but they had less impact, which angered the ultras.

Neymar reveals what he & Messi went through during PSG run

Neymar recently joined Al Hilal after his tumultuous run with PSG and has been a wild attraction ever since. But when he recollects his past in France, he does not sound content by any means. While speaking with Globo, the Brazilian striker disclosed that he and Lionel went through difficult times. He mentioned,

I was very happy for the year he (Messi) had, but at the same time very sad, because he lived both sides of the coin, he went to heaven with the Argentina team, won everything in recent years, and with Paris he lived hell. We lived through hell, both he and I. We get upset because we're not there for nothing, we're there to do our best, be champions, try to make history, that's why we started playing together again, we came together there so we could make history. Unfortunately, we didn't make it.

Neymar also spoke out on Messi's choice to leave PSG as a free agent to start performing cheerfully at club level with Inter Miami.
