In an interview with ESPN Argentina, Messi spoke about the transition he went through when he left Barcelona for the French capital last year.
“Children are the ones who have adapted best,” Messi said. “It was the thing that worried us the most, and it was the easiest thing of all… For them, starting school, making new friends, it was very normal, very simple. We have suffered a lot for this.”
After a year of adjusting to a new city and a new league, Messi has figured things out and is in good shape going into the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
