De Paul doesn’t worry about trophy drought in club career as he is by Messi’s side
Di Paul started his club career in 2012 at the Argentine club Racing. Then he joined Atletico Madrid through Valencia and Udinese. The midfielder was at Atletico from 2021 until last season. But Di Paul has not won any trophy in this 13-year club career. This time, the Argentine star has left Atletico for Inter Miami, where he has also formed a partnership with national team teammate Lionel Messi. In the meantime, Di Paul has made his debut for Miami. The main goal of this 31-year-old footballer in Miami is to win the title. Di Paul believes that when Messi is by his side, this hope will also be fulfilled. This is what Di Paul, who is known as Messi’s ‘bodyguard’ to the fans, said in an interview with Spanish newspaper Marca. When asked if he regretted not being able to win a title for the club, Di Paul said, ‘Yes, of course it still stings me. But as I say, it’s part of life. But the thing is, we are now playing with the best player in history, right? Personal experience tells me that whenever I have Messi by my side, I have won.
One World Cup, two Copa Americas, one Finalisima (playing together and winning). So now that Messi is by my side at this club, which I support, it thrills me a lot.’ Stating that he wants to play with Messi for a long time, Di Paul added, ‘I really want to spend more time with Messi. I want to play with him in as many matches as possible. And that he never retires. I will try to help him as much as possible to prolong his career. “Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to share many more moments together in the future.”
