Returning to the club after winning the World Cup, the Argentine gains prestige.
After a few weeks off, Lionel Messi is back at Paris Saint-Germain. Qatar World Cup champion with the Argentine team, the star of the tournament finally returned to the French capital, where he returned to the club to applause, and also receiving the love of Neymar, his great friend on and off the pitch. From Argentina, the number 30 shirt was still publicly manifested after the death of Pelé, offering condolences to the relatives of the King of Soccer through social networks.
Without the Argentine, there were two games played in 2023: a 2-1 victory over Strasbourg and another defeat against Lens, where the team did not have the Brazilian or Kylian Mbappé, top scorer in the World Cup with 8 goals and runner-up with the French team. On his social networks, the number 10 of the Brazilian team spoke about the return of his friend to the club.
Not PSG since 2021, Messi reissued Barcelona’s historic two-time partnership alongside Neymar. They both played together from 2013 to 2017, when the Brazilian decided to trade Spanish for French. In the 2021-2022 season, both are French champions and also of the French Cup.
Messi best of the world again?
Second to IFFHS, the Argentine crack is the first in the ranking of the best players in the world, even more after his exuberant performances with the albiceleste in the Qatar World Cup. And in relation to Neymar, he is not among the top five on the list, or that many people find it totally unfair for the performance of the 10 Brazilian shirt. The Argentine is followed by Kylian Mbappé, Karim Benzema, Luka Modric and Erling Haaland.
