Messi, applauded and decorated in PSG training

Lionel Messi has already left behind a 2022 that he will never forget. After pursuing the dream of being world champion with the Argentine team throughout his career, he was able to be crowned at the World Cup in Qatar thanks to a spectacular personal performance and that of the entire team.

After spending several days off in Rosario, the Rosario star returned to France and joined PSG’s practice session this Wednesday. Messi arrived in a gray van and, due to the low temperatures in Paris, he appeared wearing a black jacket. As soon as he got out of the vehicle, several club employees were waiting for him and he greeted them one by one.

In addition to the video that the Parisian team released, they also did the same with some postcards inside the locker room. Thus, within the intimacy of the team led by Christopher Galtier, the Albiceleste number 10 embraced Neymar, one of his friends on the squad, in an affectionate way. He did the same with the Spanish Carlos Soler and several others.

After this, the experienced player did some physical exercises in the gym and, once he came out onto the Camp des Loges pitch, he was received by the entire squad. The players and all the staff made the classic “hall of honor” with applause for the world champion. When he reached the end of the final, the sports director Luis Campos was waiting for him, who presented him with a statuette for the World Cup title.

It is important to remember that, unlike Leo, who has been on vacation since he returned to Argentina after the historic consecration in the World Cup, two other players who also reached the final stages in the tournament that took place in the Middle East were licensed by the next few days to rest after his participation with his teams.

The chosen best player of the World Cup could not meet again with the French Kylian Mabppé after being rivals in the World Cup final that was left in the hands of the light blue and white team. The same happened with the Moroccan Achraf Hakimi. The institution gave them both a few days off and they were shown together watching an NBA game between the Brooklyn Nets and San Antonio Spurs in Brooklyn.

From now on, the question will be to see when the Argentine who wears the No. 30 shirt in the Parisian team will turn around. PSG’s next match will be this Friday against Chateauroux for the matchup for the 32nd final of the French Cup. We will have to see what decision coach Galtier will make, although it is difficult for the Argentine to play from the start just a couple of days after his return to the capital. Next, the leader of Ligue 1 will play again against Angers for date 17 of the local tournament.

When will that meeting be? Next Wednesday the 11th at the Parque de los Príncipes. There it is more likely that the brand new world champion with Argentina will be able to say present in said duel and be honored by his club after the recent coronation with the National Team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The French team will seek to recover from the last defeat against Lens ( 3-1), which made him lose the undefeated, although he remains his escort to four units.
