It's going to take some adjusting to seeing
Lionel Messi in a new club jersey.
He'll also be donning a new number after
his switch to French club Paris Saint-Germain F.C. (PSG).
For years Messi wore the No. 10 shirt for
FC Barcelona in Spain. With the move to France,
the 34-year-old free agent superstar will be making
a change, wearing the No. 30 shirt.
Why is Messi wearing No. 30 at PSG?
Messi wore the No. 30 at Barcelona when
he first broke into the senior team
as a youngster
in the 2004-2005 season.
He actually wore the No. 30 for his first two seasons,
before switching to the No. 19 jersey
in the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 campaigns,
biding his time while Brazilian star Ronaldinho
graced the No. 10 shirt.
