Lionel Messi officially completed his move from Barcelona to PSG on Tuesday, joining the club on a two-year deal with an option for a third season. Of course, Paris fans are absolutely hyped that arguably the best player to ever step on the pitch is joining their already dangerous attack. Therefore, it's understandable if basically everyone wants a PSG jersey with the No. 30 on the back.
The Ligue 1 giants quickly released it online and per the Daily Star, Messi's jersey sold out in a record time of just 20 minutes. Talk about a hot commodity. It still feels weird seeing the Argentine in any shirt other than Barcelona after 21 years at the club. But, unfortunately, their financial turmoil was a huge deterrent in being able to keep their prized possession around.
PSG is now a heavy contender in the Champions League with the addition of Messi, joining Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in the final third. It's going to be a scary sight for opposing backlines to see this trio running at them and there's little doubt they will be wreaking havoc on basically everyone.
Just a day after his transfer became a reality, it wouldn't be a surprise to see lots of PSG fans walking around the French capital with a Messi jersey on. He's really that iconic.
