France: PSG’s reasons for refusing to host a tribute to Messi for its CdM

France les raisons énoncées par le PSG pour justifier son refus d’organiser un hommage à Messi pour sa CdM

Lionel Messi will make his return in official competition with the PSG this Wednesday, January 11, 2023. An opportunity for the French club to pay tribute to him at the Parc des Princes after his victory in the World Cup Qatar 2022. But unfortunately, this tribute will never take place, because the leaders of the French club have decided so.

Lionel Messi is expected to play against Angers almost a month after his victory in the World Cup with Argentina. The Argentine star will start the match of the 18th day of Ligue 1. An opportunity for him to receive a standing ovation from the Parc des Princes. Since a special tribute is not on the agenda for the Argentine winner of the World Cup Qatar 2022.

Indeed, it was on January 4 that Lionel Messi was back at the Camp des Loges, the training center of PSG. That day, the whole group, except for Mbappé and Ashraf, who were on vacation in the United States, offered him a lane in recognition of his triumph in Qatar. This was and will be the only tribute that the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will receive. Since if there will be a tribute at the Parc des Princes of this Wednesday, January 11, 2023, it will be for Modeste Mbami, the former PSG player who died tragically this week.

In addition, it is worth reminding everyone that last season, PSG had celebrated with Senegal the African Cup won by Abdou Diallo and Gana Gueye, both currently absent from PSG. But in the case of Lionel Messi’s World Cup, the French club believes that Messi’s lane was sufficient and that a celebration could generate controversy, as the club is French and Argentina beat France in the World Cup final.

However, the fact that PSG does not organize a party for Messi does not mean anything against the player. The proof is that Al Khelaïfi and Luis Campos have been working on his renewal for three months and the three parties reached an agreement in principle during the World Cup in Qatar, which should materialize by the end of January. PSG is looking to consolidate its lead against Angers and Messi will try to offer a victory at the Parc des Princes as a gift for his return to the field.
