panish press reports indicated that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Lionel Messi's mural has been destroyed in Barcelona, as reports recently emerged that the Argentine is set to renew his contract with the Parisians, and in response, fans have destroyed his mural at Catalunya. Messi is undoubtedly the greatest Barcelona player ever. He made 778 appearances for the Catalan club, scoring 672 goals and providing 303 assists. However, the Argentina captain was forced to move away from his boyhood club last summer due to La Liga wage cap rules. He was left in tears and arrived at the French capital. Messi had a difficult first season in France, scoring 11 goals and providing 15 assists in 34 games. The 35-year-old, however, is in good form this season. He has scored 12 goals and provided 14 assists in 19 games. Lionel Messi has been linked with a move back to Barca for a while. However, after Argentina's 2022 FIFA World Cup triumph, reports emerged that Messi has given his word to Nasser Al-Khelaifi about extending his stay at PSG until at least 2024.
The fans in Catalonia did not take the news kindly but decided to destroy the Argentine mural, because they might lost hope that Messi would return to Catalonia at the Camp Nou.
