Which football clubs does Messi follow?

Inter Miami, Messi's current side, are among the clubs the Argentina international is following on Instagram.

According to Sportskeeda, the four-time Champions League winner also follows Barcelona, where he spent the bulk of his career.

Apart from the two clubs, the iconic forward follows his boyhood team, Newell's Old Boys and another local club in his hometown named La Bajada.

Surprisingly, the Barcelona legend does not follow Paris Saint-Germain, a club he played for two years.

However, he does follow two Premier League clubs in the shape of Chelsea and Manchester City.

While it remains unclear why Messi does not maintain any ties with PSG on social media, he has previously reflected on his time at the club.

"As I said at the time, my departure to Paris was not something I wanted, it was not something I wanted to leave Barcelona and, so to speak, it was from one day to the next," Goal quoted Messi saying.
