Messi, bet on PSG: the chance of 800 goals and the preview of “his other World Cup” against Bayern

with the heart inside rosary beads but with the head (and left hand) inserted Paris, Lionel Messi He has a week ahead of him that could be decisive in what awaits his career as a footballer. The March 8 match against Bayern will define whether the paris saint germain follow on Champions League, with all that this entails for the future of the club owned by the Qatari capital. In short, knowing whether or not Leo renews at PSG.

But first, this Saturday the 4th, he’ll have a preview that will help him warm up his engines against the nantes for Ligue 1, when he can reach 800 goals in his career and continue to expand his legend.

The week of the best footballer in the world was marked by the threat and attack suffered by a supermarket owned by his wife’s family, Antonella Roccuzzo. Leo didn’t mention the episode, although his mother left a brief comment about it.

PSG’s 30th (Argentina’s 10th, for us) appears on the list that will try to win against Nantes on Saturday at the Parque de los Príncipes. Leo has 798 goals in his entire career, adding selection and club, and it’s a matter of time to overcome that barrier of 800.

The Paris team dominates the championship 1 and everyone assumes that he will repeat the 2022 title locally, so the great anticipation is placed on the Champions Leaguethat goal that resists them despite the millions they invest year after year hiring stars from all over the planet.

It’s “the other World Cup” for Messi, conquering “Orejona” with PSG, but it won’t be easy. They will face mighty Bayern in Munich on Wednesday 8 and should get a good result as the first leg in Paris was a 1-0 win for the Germans.

For that rematch, bad news that can be good. DT Christophe Galtier has confirmed that Neymar will be out as he has been unable to recover from an ankle injury which has hit him since the World Cup. Why can it be good not to have one of the best players in the world? Without the pressure of fielding the trio Messi, Neymar and Mbappéthe coach will be able to tactically balance a team that becomes chaotic at times.

There is a lot of excitement in Paris. Messi and Mbappé are understanding each other more and better. Against Marseille, in the classic, now without Ney, he gave a concert of goals and passes: Kyllian scored two, with two assists from Leo; Messi scored one, with a touch from Mbappé. The next day they embraced at the gala of The best.

Messi takes refuge in football and regards his country with suspicion, where he received new news this Friday, this time much happier. His name figures prominently in the pre-list of 35 players called up by Lionel Scaloni for the two friendlies of the Argentine national team, the first after the World Cup in Qatar.
