Paris Saint-Germain commemorated Lionel Messi's birthday by creating a special video montage showcasing the Argentine superstar's incredible moments during his tenure with the club.

Despite facing constant criticism from the club's fanbase, Messi decided to make a move across the Atlantic and signed with Inter Miami, an MLS side, instead of extending his contract with PSG.

Nevertheless, on his 36th birthday, Messi's former club expressed their appreciation for him. PSG took to Twitter and shared a 58-second video titled "Happy birthday, Leo," which encapsulated some of Messi's mesmerizing moments during his association with the club, All Football reports.

Here is the video:

Meanwhile, the newly-signed Inter Miami star is in his home nation of Argentina with his family as he enjoys quality time after a gruelling campaign, per the Sun.

In a related publication, Sports Brief reported that Lionel Messi has spoken for the first time about the jeers and boos he received from Paris Saint-Germain during the course of the 2022/23 season.

The 36-year-old superstar arrived in Paris in 2021 with much fanfare, but his two-year stay with the Ligue 1 giants became sour, with fans turning on the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Messi revealed there was a rift between him and a section of the PSG support but admitted it was their way of doing things when they are upset.

According to the Sun, a video captured from a passing car showed Messi and his family cycling on their bikes around the streets.
