It is a rare moment, a mixture of sensations for Lionel Messi. On Thursday the whole country is waiting for him to get excited again when I lift the World Cup at home, with the Argentine National Team and to celebrate in style in friendlies. But this sunday when he goes out to the Parque de los Príncipes, there will be uncertainty. PSG welcomes Rennes at 1:05 p.m. for the date 28 of Ligue 1, although it will be the first meeting of the team with its people after the elimination of the Champions League 10 days ago in Munich against Bayern.
a year ago, the March 13, 2022, Leo and Neymar were the most whistled when Real Madrid took them out of La Orejona in the same instance. That time everything was hot, because it was four days after the defeat at the Bernabéu. Now, the difference is that those led by Christophe Galtier come from beating Brest on the hour with assistance from Leo and a goal from Mbappé. But the climate is rarefied, with many internal rumors and with doubts in the continuity of the Argentine after June, when your contract expires. With the idea of renewing it, will wait for the first to win the French tournament (they are nine points ahead of Lens) and then wait for the club’s sports project for next year.
On Friday, it was Jorge Messi who exploded denying the ‘fake news’ about the future of his son, rumors of a trip to Saudi Arabia or that he had a fight with Galtier, for example. All versions circulating in France and that he tried to deactivate. Leo, only busy with football, will go out onto the field with that context, on a Parisian afternoon that could be the setting for the 800th goal of his career.. With 799 (701 in clubs and 98 in the Senior Team), he has been following him for two matches and is going for another round figure after reaching 300 assists the previous weekend against Brest.

How will the PSG ultras receive it? It is not known. But Messi will seek to play, get the 800th goal and come to Argentina to continue celebrating the most desired title of his career and that shines in his showcases.
