After a memorable extended break following his World Cup breakthrough, Lionel Messi on Wednesday finally made a triumphant return to Paris Saint-Germain.
Tribune Online understands the 7-time Balon d’Or winner was given a long break by the club Argentina’s memorable 2022 World Cup win the last winter.
Messi was the star of the show in Qatar, scoring seven goals and winning the coveted Golden Ball award for a record second time.

But the celebrations for Messi and his Argentine teammates – which looked pretty darn epic – are now over and it’s back to business.
However, before Messi took part in his first training session back at PSG, he was given a hero’s welcome.
Messi is believed to clinch his eighth Balon d’Or award should he take PSG to their first Champions League victory later this year.
A guard of honour for our World Champion! 👏❤️💙#BravoLeo pic.twitter.com/OHIkKALbUl
