Paris Saint Germain denies Messi tribute in a game won with a goal by the Argentine

Although various French media had been warning him, it was not believed that Lionel Messi, Argentina’s captain of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, would not receive a tribute after his performance in the World Cup.

In the match in which his team Paris Saint Germain (PSG) was at home against Angers, Messi went unnoticed on his way out onto the field and the only difference he wore was a shirt remembering Pelé, like the rest of his teammates.

Before the game there was no applause, no walk, no ovation to remind him of the feat done in Qatar.

The development of the match once again produced a dominant Messi who defined the actions with the difference goal for the 2-1 home win against Angers.

For Messi it was the 794th goal in his career and the 1004th game played. At the same time it was the first since he returned from the World Cup and the vacations he took in his hometown, Rosario in Argentina.

PSG did not give reasons not to honor Messi

Although PSG did not give explanations in this regard, it is estimated that due to the fact of playing in the French capital – its rival in the final – and with the main Ligue 1 team, the board preferred to avoid booing from the public.

infobae collected the information from le parisienwhich alleges that the reception he received upon arrival at the team was sufficient.

Last week, PSG manager Christophe Galtier said they expected a big reception for Messi, which never happened.

Later, the coach himself stressed that the Argentine did not ask for any special distinction, so PSG could have taken it literally so as not to organize something that would shock the fans.
