Messi suffered an accident in Barcelona: he hit his face with a camera | VIDEO

The return of Lionel Messi to the city of Barcelona, ​​after his signing for PSG, caught the attention of the press and the fans. The Argentine had returned to the place where he shone to celebrate the birthday of Xavi Hernández, who was his teammate and who is currently the coach of the ‘Azulgrana’ club.

In the aforementioned appointment, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba were also present, which caused the arrival of various media. However, the journalists only wanted a statement from the “Flea”, which is why they surrounded him while he was walking towards a well-known place.

Lionel Messi decided to remain silent, ignoring questions about his future and the PSG vs. Real Madrid for the Champions League, and only attended some fans. However, due to the presence of so many people around him, the outstanding footballer ended up having an accident.

As captured by the images, the Argentine star lowered his gaze before the incessant light of the cameras and, losing sight of the path he was following, ended up hitting his face against the element that a cameraman was carrying. ‘Leo’ did not hide the pain, although the scene did not go to great lengths and, after receiving the apologies for the case, he was able to reach his friends for the meeting they had.

The present of Messi in PSG

Lionel Messi’s season with the PSG shirt has not been the brightest, given that injuries and a recent contagion of COVID-19 prevented him from being active. Finally, after three weeks out of the team, the striker returned to play: he was in the last 28 minutes in the victory against Reims (4-0).

Despite the short time in the field, the ‘Flea’ had a good development and even assisted Marco Verratti for the partial 3-0. On the other hand, given the lack of continuity and opting for his optimal recovery, the skilled player was not called up by the Argentina team for the double date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers (between January and February).
