Lionel Messi PSG Stats

When Lionel Messi joined Paris Saint Germain FC (PSG) in August 2021 it marked one of the most momentous transfers in modern football. After spending his entire senior career to that point at FC Barcelona, Messi moved to Paris following financial issues at Barcelona that prevented renewal of his contract. His move to France was widely described as the end of an era in Barcelona and the beginning of a new chapter

At PSG he inherited the number 30 shirt (the same he had used at Barcelona early in his career). His two-year stint at the French club would see two Ligue 1 titles but also moments of adjustment and challenge, making the statistical summary intriguing for any fan or collector of football jerseys

• Unique kit edition: The PSG shirts worn by Messi during 2021–23 often featured his name “MESSI” and number “30”. These editions may hold special appeal given the relatively short span of his PSG tenure

• Team context: The attacking trio of Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Jr made headlines. Collectors may also look for matching or related kits from that era
