During his last hours on Argentine soil, before boarding his private jet to return to France, Lionel Messi received a special gift. The 35-year-old forward was honored with a book by his neighbors at the Kentucky Country Club in Funes. In it, which he was approached by the administration of the closed neighborhood, the co-owners dedicated a series of messages of gratitude and affection for the title he achieved as captain of Argentina in the World Cup in Qatar.
The star posed with the gift in his Argentine home, with a totally relaxed outfit: white shirt, PSG pants with his number (30) and barefoot. Behind the images it can be seen that the emotion for the trophy that he won in his fifth participation in the ecumenical competition does not cease: you can see a sign that says “world champion”, with the three stars that the Albiceleste won throughout of his story. The detail, of course, was all the rage among his admirers.

The attacker reviewed the messages with happiness, before a new recognition by the public that honored him second by second since the arrival of the team in the country, on December 20. Inside Kentucky he lived a moment of euphoria and massiveness when he landed in a helicopter with Ángel Di María, but then in general he was able to rest without harassment.
In the middle he had two high-intensity outings. First, to his niece’s 15th birthday. And last Thursday, to the champions’ party that he organized, and in which he was accompanied by two of his allies in the conquest: Ángel Di María and Leandro Paredes.
However, the mini vacation came to an end. Messi is expected to arrive in Paris this Tuesday, to return to training on Wednesday under the orders of technical director Christophe Galtier.
