このコンテンツについて
Lionel Messi’s week has been a swirl of emotion, milestones, and media frenzy. Days after turning 38—his birthday, on June 24, was marked by heartfelt posts from FC Barcelona, with the club reminiscing about iconic moments and declaring he’d “always have [their] heart”—Messi kept it classy and personal on social media. On June 25, he broke his silence with an emotional thank you to fans worldwide, posting a warm message and a beaming photo on his official X account, quickly racking up viral attention and showing once again the special kinship he has with his global fanbase. Even PSG, never known for nostalgia, joined in, publicly wishing him a happy birthday, while plenty of French media took the opportunity to rehash the bittersweet PSG years, framing his time there as one of “failure and bitterness” and billing the upcoming reunion match as a grudge match with all the emotional residue of an old romance gone wrong.
And talk about dramatic timing: Messi’s Inter Miami is set for a career first—on Sunday, June 29, he’ll face his old club PSG in the Club World Cup Round of 16 at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, a competitive showdown he has never experienced before in his decades-long, record-shattering career. Miami’s earned this moment after advancing from a tense group stage, notably with a wild 2-2 draw against Palmeiras in which Miami surrendered a two-goal lead and Messi was seen storming off the pitch, visibly frustrated but later showing characteristic sportsmanship behind the scenes. His numbers with Miami—50 goals and 24 assists in just 62 matches—stack up remarkably against his PSG spell, but there’s an extra charge now as he looks to exorcise old ghosts against the reigning European champions, themselves fresh off a historic treble and, some say, doing better since moving on from the “Galactico” approach epitomized by Messi’s and Neymar’s era.
Off the pitch, Messi’s name is again swirling in transfer gossip, as Saudi powerhouse Al-Hilal reportedly launched a $200 million-per-season offer—one that would rival Cristiano Ronaldo’s headline-grabbing deal. While Messi’s contract with Inter Miami runs through December 2025 and sources close to the player insist his focus is firmly on the Club World Cup and Miami, Saudi club officials are said to be in the US and actively pursuing discussions with Jorge Messi, his father and agent. But for now, all eyes are on the upcoming clash: the emotional stakes, the sporting narrative, and the lingering question of what comes after, all making Messi’s journey this week nothing short of gripping.
