Messi says "dream" is for PSG to win Champions League in 1st press conference with French club

During his first press conference after signing a two-year deal with Paris St Germain, Lionel Messi said he was very happy and ready to help the team clinch their first-ever Champions League title.

"That's why I am here. It's an ambitious club," Messi, who will wear the No. 30 jersey - which was his first squad number in senior football at Barcelona in 2006, told a news conference.

"My dream is to win another Champions League, and I think this is the ideal place to be to do that."

The Argentinian forward had agreed to stay at former club Barcelona after his deal expired at the end of June, only for the Spanish club to admit they could no longer afford him last week.

Messi said while a lot of emotions were processed within a week for him and his family, he is looking forward to the new challenge.
