    Head coach Christophe Galtier has confirmed Argentina star Lionel Messi is leaving Paris Saint-Germain.

    Lionel Messi. Lionel Messi.

    Saturday's fixture against Clement Foot will be Messi's last for PSG.

    "I had the privilege of managing the best player in the history of football. This will be his last match at the Parc des Princes. I dare to hope that he will be welcomed in the best possible way," said Galtier.

    Messi was with PSG for two seasons. He joined the French Ligue 1 club in 2021, ending a 21-year relationship with Barcelona.

    Messi scored 32 goals in 74 matches across all competitions for PSG.

    In December 2022, he won the World Cup with Argentina.

    Messi was named FIFA Footballer of the Year at the FIFA awards in February 2023.

    Whether Messi returns to Barcelona, joins Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League, moves elsewhere or retires remains in the balance.
