PSG-Angers: no party in the park for Lionel Messi

It was a question: how will the public of the park welcome Lionel Messi in the event of a ceremony dedicated to his world title with Argentina against France? Some even feared possible whistles, especially after the celebration of the Argentines and the misses of goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez against Kylian Mbappe.

Nothing will happen. According to our information, PSG have indeed decided not to organize a special tribute to their star on the occasion of the reception of Angers this Wednesday. The club believes that the reception given to him on his return to the Camp de Loges training center last week, where the guard of honor and the presentation of the trophy by Luis Campos, was enough to score a goal. In addition, it is emphasized that three and a half weeks have passed since the final on December 18, which is not neutral.

Twice since the beginning of the year, Christophe Galtier has mentioned Messi’s reunion with the Parisian public. After the match at Lance, he slipped: “I have no doubt that he will be very well received at the Park. First of all, now that he has achieved this incredible goal, we must remember what he has been doing with the team since the beginning of the season. He is a decisive player for us. Therefore, I have no doubt that it will be very well received.”

Then, before going to Châteauroux, in the Coupe de France, the coach again insisted: “Everyone is happy to see him. Will there be a party at the Parc des Princes? We’ll see when his next game is, but Leo has no demand and no need to celebrate. He is a world champion, he is an outstanding player. I hope the fans take note. We are very, very lucky to have a player like Leo Messi. There is no reason why it cannot be celebrated. »

Therefore, this will not be officially, but the fans will be able to greet him, in particular, during the presentation of the teams by the announcer of the park, Michel Montana. Even if the Argentine scores if he takes part in his first match of 2023.

On the other hand, it could happen that a moment of silence in memory of two former members of the club – midfielder Modeste Mbami and orthopedist Gilles Vatelier – who have recently passed away.
