Paris Saint-Germain forward, Lionel Messi, has reacted to
receiving a guard of honour from his teammates and staff after his return to
the club following his triumph at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Messi led Argentina to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar
last December.
The 35-year-old also won the World Cup Golden Ball award for
the best player of the competition.
The former Barcelona captain returned to PSG on Wednesday
following an extended break.
Messi was given a warm welcome by his PSG’s teammates and a
few of the club’s staff.
Interestingly, Kylian Mbappe was absent when Messi returned,
though Neymar was one of the first players to congratulate him.
Messi was flanked by his teammates as he walked onto the
training ground for the first time in 2023.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner was also awarded a gold
trophy with a star and his name on it by PSG sporting director, Luis Campos, to
commemorate his FIFA World Cup victory.
Reacting, Messi, in a post via his Instagram account,
expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome.
He also said that he looked forward to resuming his club
campaign with PSG.
Messi wrote, “Many thanks to my colleagues and all the
people of the club for the welcome they gave me. We’re back and looking forward
to continuing to meet the goals of this season, now with the @psg.”
