Lionel Messi greeted with a guard of honor (and a curious trophy) for his return to training

The day after his return to Paris, Lionel Messi found the Camp des Loges, this Wednesday in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, in the Yvelines. 17 days after his title of world champion, the Argentinian was entitled to a guard of honor from his teammates from Paris Saint-Germain. He was even offered a rather indescribable trophy from the hands of the PSG football adviser, Luis Campos.

If the very young Ethan Mbappé (16 years old) was one of the players who honored the sevenfold Ballon d’Or, scorer of France and his big brother Kylian in the final of the World Cup (3-3, 4-2 at the shots on goal), “Kiks” was absent.

Ethan Mbappé present, not Kylian

The star of the Blues, returned to his club on December 21, takes advantage of the ten days of rest granted by the club with a trip to the United States with his Moroccan friend Achraf Hakimi, fourth in the World Cup.

For Messi, the return to normal could come against Angers, the red lantern of Ligue 1, next Wednesday, more likely than in Châteauroux, Friday in the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France.
