Lionel Messi continues to cause madness among football fans. And this time he caused a sensation among fans who are not from his own club himself, but have received support from none other than the Germans. Is that, the psg is measured this Wednesday against the Bayern Monaco in Germany for the second round of the round of 16, where the Parisians have to overturn the series in which they fell 1-0, and the Argentine star was sung and welcomed by the inhabitants of the German nation.
From the exit of the Munich airport to the hotel where the team made up of Kylian Mbappé and company are staying, thousands of fans of the Argentine star surrounded the bus as They sang to his name and even cheered with “Dale champion”regardless of the fact that the day after Messi will be his rival in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
Attempting to locate 30’s seat in the vehicle was what made each of the Germans desperate, who tried to take pictures or record video. “Messi, Messi, Messi!”was sung meanwhile.
Despite the warm welcome the Argentinian star received, Leo was unable to thank him because his mind, like that of his entire team, is at reverse series against Bayern Munich (1-0 first leg) and thus be able to obtain a place towards the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Those led by Christophe Galtier come from their 4-2 win over Nantes for the local league, in which they top eight points over their escort, Olympique de Marseille.
Paris Saint Germain were forced to travel two days before the match due to a general strike across France, dubbed the “Black Tuesday”due to the fact that the population is against certain pension reforms that Emmanuel Macron made official at the beginning of the year. The whole country has called a strike and this could cause complications for the Parisian team to be able to fly normally to Germany.
This was assured by the French Transport Minister “It will be one of the most complicated days they have known” and that “All sectors will be affected. Up to 265 mergers are convened at this time for tomorrow.” Thus it was that PSG decided to encourage his escape.

The world champion spoke to the official PSG media about how the whole team is preparing to go in search of a comeback: “We arrived in excellent shape and we are able to turn the situation around”. And I add: “We will try”.
Furthermore, while considering the Allianz Arena as a “strong” stadium, he assured: “We go with the great illusion of being able to continue our journey in the Champions League”.
