The coach of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Christophe Galtier, left the Parc des Princes with the satisfaction of having fulfilled his duty. His team beat Angers 2-0 on date 18 of Ligue 1 and the group leader was very complimentary of Lionel Messi, who returned to the title after having been world champion with the Argentine team.
PSG did not plan a special reception for Lionel Messi in his first game after winning the World Cup with Argentina: the reasons for the decision
The man from Rosario will appear again with his club this Wednesday after two months after his last game and after being champion with the Argentine team in Qatar. Will he go back?
The striker scored the last goal of the match played at home for the tournament leader, but he contributed to other collective actions and added some touches of distinction after having enjoyed his vacation in Rosario. “Today we saw the best player in the world again,” Galtier said after the meeting in dialogue with the French platform Prime Video Sport about the performance of the 35-year-old footballer.
One of the details to understand this statement resides in the framework that preceded the meeting. In the midst of multiple tributes in each of the clubs to the world champions, Messi framed a huge asterisk that surprised the world of football. The signs of affection were a champion’s corridor made by the squad to one of its references on the return to practice in Paris added to a timid ovation when he was announced as the starter on the stadium screen. Some gestures that become tiny given the dimension of the institution worldwide.

He has returned to his statistical standards in front of the goal and obviously he can return to being the best player in the world, because he is happy and in good physical shape ”. A scenario that changed after the consecration of his team in the World Cup in Qatar, but we will have to wait to see how another of the team’s figures like Kylian Mbappé will take these compliments, due to the rivalry he has with the Argentine to be the best player of the world.
