The Monaco midfielder has warned his former team-mate that the French top-flight has become far more "competitive" in recent years
"Ligue 1 is not as easy as people think", according to Cesc Fabregas, who has insisted that Lionel Messi's arrival at Paris Saint-Germain does not guarantee them the title.
Messi was forced to call time on his illustrious 21-year career at Barcelona last week as the club announced that they were unable to re-sign the 34-year-old due to the current wage limit in La Liga.
PSG subsequently swooped in to sign Messi on a free transfer, completing a star-studded squad that also contains the likes of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Sergio Ramos, but Fabregas has warned that it is by no means a forgone conclusion that they will dominate the French top-flight in 2021-22.
