The saga is over: after being suspended for one game, Lionel Messi returns to play in the Paris Saint-Germain uniform. It will happen tomorrow (Saturday, 22:00, live broadcast on 5PLUS), when Paris will host Ajaccio in Parc de France. Four rounds to the end of the season, the team from the City of Lights leads by six points over second-place Lance – where if they win and Lance lose to Reims, Paris will practically achieve their second championship title in a row, and the 11th overall.
As you remember, Messi was suspended after traveling to Saudi Arabia without the team’s permission – and as a result he was suspended and did not play in the previous league game against Troyes (a game in which Paris won 1:3). After that, Messi publicly apologized, his suspension ended – and “the flea” will not only be in the squad, but will also start in the lineup. This was confirmed by coach Christophe Galtier, at the press conference held today.
Another addition to the saga was discovered in the last few days: according to the report in “RMC”, Leo Messi signed an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain – under which he will return to training in exchange for the public apology published by Messi in the same video. Remember, before the apology, it was reported in the world media that PSG considered releasing Messi immediately – after he went to Saudi Arabia against the team’s opinion.
“We are happy to welcome Leo back to the team,” said Galtier, “he trained all week with a lot of passion, determination and desire to play for the team.” Messi should partner Paris’ front three, along with Hugo Akitaike and Kylian Mbappe. According to all reports, this could be Messi’s last games in Paris – and if so, Messi will want to do everything to say goodbye to a championship title.
