JAKARTA - Lionel Messi has revealed that he is "very happy" at Paris Saint-Germain and has no regrets about choosing the French club as his new home.

The 2021 Ballon d'Or candidate arrived at the Parc des Princes in August after spending his entire professional career at club level with Barcelona.

Although the beginning of his career at PSG did not meet expectations, the 34-year-old revealed that he did not think too long when he decided to join there.

"Barca issued a statement saying that I would not continue my career there and from then on I started to wonder how I would get back on my feet," Messi told France Football on Saturday, October 9.

"I had to find a new club to continue my career. I was lucky to be contacted by several clubs including PSG. I thank the club because from the start they treated me very well."

"They showed that they really wanted me and took care of me. I thank them because I was very happy today. I received another offer, but ... we reached an agreement with PSG quite quickly."

"I was clearly convinced by this project, the players it has, the quality of the group ... all these elements make it easier to reach an agreement," added the Argentina captain.

"Knowing that I have friends in the dressing room allowed me to convince myself that things would be easier to adjust to. And I wasn't wrong, because it was very easy to integrate myself, especially because there are a lot of players who speak Spanish like me. "

So far, Messi has only scored one goal for PSG against Manchester City in the Champions League at the end of last month and is considered to need more time to adapt.
