0:59Now PlayingFans of the Paris Saint-Germain football club chanted outside Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, France, on August 9 in anticipation of Lionel Messi’s arrival, after the soccer star was reported to be in transfer talks with the club.
Messi gave a tearful farewell to Barcelona, his club of 21 years, on Sunday, describing his gratitude to “so many” people at the club. He said leaving was “difficult for me after so many years, after being here my entire life. I’m not ready for this.”
Barcelona said his departure was due to financial constraints, and the club’s inability to keep Messi and stay within La Liga’s FFP regulations.
This footage, posted by Twitter user @panams75, shows the ecstatic fans chanting and jumping outside the club’s home stadium, hoping to see Messi arrive as reported.
