Yes, I’m aware this is a soccer post. Yes, I’m aware it’s the second of the afternoon. No, I’m not Kevin Kinkead. However, when arguably the GOAT of his respective sport lands in a new league after building an incomparable legacy at one of Europe’s most iconic clubs, it’s newsworthy.

For those who missed it, Barcelona of La Liga (Spain) announced last Thursday that “financial and structural obstacles” were going to lead to the departure of the iconic Lionel Messi. Messi held a tearful press conference on Sunday to officially announce his 21-year relationship with Barcelona was coming to an end. Despite some rumors of a plane turning around and a report by ESPN Argentina that Barcelona were attempting to make a final offer after Messi’s press conference, word officially came down on Tuesday that the 34-year-old had officially signed with Paris Saint-Germain of Ligue 1 (France):

A strange sight, but one his fans will have to get used to. Anyway, things escalated quickly when Messi was presented to PSG faithful in a scene that started like when Joffrey Baratheon took Margaery Tyrell out of the Great Sept and ended like the epilogue to Les Miserables:

To be fair to FOX Bet, this scene was more like hitting a 15-leg parlay, one of pure, unadulterated bliss. Messi will fortify a PSG attack that already features the young French dynamo Kylian Mbappé and his former Barcelona teammate Neymar.

The real question here is what the equivalent of a move like this would be in US terms. Wayne Gretzky to LA? Peyton Manning to Denver? Shaq to the Heat? Let us know on Facebook and Twitter.
