In the absence of Mbappe, Paris Saint-Germain receives the "world champion" Messi

 Argentine star Lionel Messi returned to his French club, Paris Saint-Germain, after the end of his vacation that followed the achievement of the World Cup with his country, Argentina, more than two weeks ago. The team players and the coaching staff set up an honorary path for Messi, where they saluted him for the achievement he achieved with the "tango dancers", and then he was honored with an award presented by the club's sports director.

Before the player's greeting that preceded the training, Messi greeted his fellow players in the dressing room, including the Brazilian Neymar. It was noteworthy that the French star Kylian Mbappe was absent from receiving Messi, the star of France who lost to Messi and Argentina in the Qatar 2022 World Cup final, despite scoring 3 goals.

Mbappe appeared with his teammate, Moroccan Ashraf Hakimi, as they toured New York City, taking advantage of the short league break.
