Lionel Messi’s impact on PSG is the staggering sum the French have earned from the Argentine

The French fans did not get over the irony of Emiliano Martinez – Lionel Messi risks a riot if he presents the World Cup trophy

After triumphing in the World Cup final in Qatar against France, Lionel Messi is back in the club team and is likely to start in PSG’s home game against Angers.

In the last 6 months of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, Messi maintains a good relationship with Paris officials and is very close to signing a current deal with the French champions.

The Argentine asked the club to present the World Cup trophy during Wednesday night’s game but, according to Le Parisien, the French have banned Messi from doing so on the grounds that it would cause riots among the spectators at the Parc des Arena. .

At the same time, the Hexagon press highlighted the fact that goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez’s taunts against Kylian Mbappe, Messi’s team-mate, did not go down well with all fans in France.

PSG’s reason is that the famous guard of honor that Lionel Messi received after returning to training is more than enough for the Argentine.
