Zapping But! Football Club Real Madrid, FC Barcelona: top 10 most capped players in the Champions League
Lionel Messi (34) has barely returned to Paris when he has already left the City of Light! Returning from Argentina shortly after the end of the year celebrations positive for Covid-19, the PSG striker has spent the past few days fine-tuning his return to competition on Sunday against Stade de Reims.
Substitute at the Parc des Princes, the former FC Barcelona crack made an honorable entry into play and participated in the PSG attacking festival against the Champagne club (4-0). This was not enough to convince him to stay in Paris for the long term. Yesterday, several Catalan media claimed that “La Pulga” was in Barcelona for dinner with part of the FC Barcelona workforce, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba among others.
Xavi, who celebrates his 42nd birthday today, was also present and would even be the main reason for Messi’s hook at Barcelona. PSG fans can be reassured: the Argentinian crack is expected to challenge OGC Nice next Monday in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France (9 p.m.).
