Bayern Munich crushed the French side by 2-0 at Allianz Arena and won the tie 3-0. This is the second consecutive time PSG have crashed out of the quarterfinals of UCL despite having big names in the squad like Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr, Sergio Ramos, and many more. With this defeat, speculation on the future of some players has emerged and Messi’s name is not away from that list. So, has Lionel Messi played his last UCL game and will he be eyeing a move away from European Football? Let’s Check Out.
Has Lionel Messi Played His Last UEFA Champions League Game With PSG Early Exit? Check Which Clubs Are Plotting Transfer for Football Legend
Messi’s contract with PSG will end in the summer of 2023. The exit from UCL now has left the PSG management in a position to think about the situation and Messi’s new contract.
Messi struggled in his first season in Paris, but this season PSG fans have witnessed what he is well known for.
The Argentinian has now scored 13 goals and 12 assists in Ligue 1 and 4 goals in UCL. Notably, most of Messi’s goals and assist came at a crucial time, which resulted in PSG’s victory.
However, the numbers might not be enough to keep him at Parc des Princes next season. Messi might be one of the best players in the world, but PSG will strongly consider building a team around Kylian Mbappe.
This was clearly visible last summer when the club signed younger players and not big names, which they used to do earlier. This will not help PSG to build a team for future but they will cut the wages too, which is a much-needed solution for the team. Neymar and Sergio Ramos might also be on their way away from PSG including Messi. But, where will he land next summer?
The 35-year-old has been on the radar of Inter Miami and Barcelona since leaving the Catalan club in 2021.
Watching Messi play under Xavi for Barcelona will be a dream come true for many of his fans. This will not only bring Messi back to Camp Nou, but he will be playing UCL next season.

But the favorite among all to sign Messi is David Beckham’s MLS club Inter Miami.
Messi has won almost everything a player can dream in his career and the addition of the FIFA World Cup trophy has put him in a situation where he can enjoy playing football without any pressure of winning. Miami might be the right destination for Lionel Messi to retire from as most of the big players do the same way.
Clubs from Saudi Arabia have also been linked with Messi, but the move is unlikely to happen. If any of these moves other than Barcelona happens, then Lionel Messi might not be playing further in UCL and the game against Bayern Munich is surely the last one.
