Neymar spent six seasons with the French giants, but things soured dramatically between the attacker and PSG supporters in his final campaign in Paris.

Fans staged a protest against the 31-year-old in May, gathering outside his home and demanding that he leaves the club immediately.

Neymar's relationship with PSG was understood to have also become rocky, with the decision-makers upstairs deciding it would be best to open the door to his exit amid a reported fracture in relations with Kylian Mbappe early in the 2022/23 season.

Messi experienced similar abuse from PSG fans, having been booed and jeered at an on multiple occasions last season by a section of supporters who questioned his commitment to the club.

Neymar has now lifted the lid on their experience with the French giants , describing it as having "lived through hell".

"I was very happy for the year he [Messi] had, but at the same time very sad, because he lived both sides of the coin, he went to heaven with the Argentina team, won everything in recent years, and with Paris he lived hell," Neymar told Globo.

"We lived through hell, both he and I. We get upset, because we're not there for nothing, we're there to do our best, be champions, try to make history, that's why we started playing together again, we came together there so we could make history.

"Unfortunately, we didn't make it.

"Messi left in a way that, for football, he didn't deserve. For everything he is, everything he does, anyone who knows him knows, he is a guy who trains, who fights, if he loses he gets angry, and he was unfairly treated in my opinion.

"But at the same time I was very happy that he won the World Cup. As you said, football was fair this time, since the Brazilian team lost, Messi deserved to end his career like this."

PSG boss Luis Enrique has since responded to Neymar's comments, stating: "These are personal experiences. I don't want to get into that.

"I can tell you about my experience: I'm absolutely delighted.

"I feel like I'm in charge of a rather unique team with a club that trusts me 100%."
