ICYMI: Lionel Messi said he wanted to power Paris Saint-Germain to their first Champions League trophy, putting the tearful farewell he bade to Barcelona behind him
Messi joined the star-studded PSG as a free agent after Barcelona, where he begun and always imagined he would play out his career, acknowledged last week they could no longer afford him.
"My dream is to win another Champions League, and I think this is the ideal place to be to do that," added Messi, who in a nod to his first squad number in senior football at Barcelona will wear the No. 30 jerseyat PSG. PSG's Qatari money is enabling PSG to compete at their level, though much of the rest of the league is way adrift in terms of resources. In unusual comments praising a club's transfer dealings, Ligue 1 President Vincent Labrune celebrated Messi's signing as a big win for French soccer.
