There was a defeat. There were boos. There was no 800 goal. But what Lionel Messi didn’t miss this Sunday was the embrace of his three children. Thiago, Mateo and Ciro welcomed their father home with all the love in the world following PSG’s defeat at the hands of Rennes in Ligue 1 in France.
The photo was published by Antonela Roccuzzo in an Instagram story and showed how the three heirs of the best in history received their father and greeted him on Father’s Day. Yes, in Spain it is celebrated this Sunday and in the house in Paris they have not passed the date apart from the fact that in Argentina it is celebrated in June.
The hugs came after Rennes (5th), already victorious in the first round, defeated Paris Saint-Germain (1st) again, this Sunday at the Parc des Princes 2-0, in a match of the 28th day in which Messi received some boos when the lineup was announced and in various actions.
Karl Toko Ekambi and Arnaud Kalimuendo have condemned a PSG who added their seventh defeat in 2023, counting all competitions, the fourth of the season in Ligue 1.
With ten days remaining in the competition, PSG are nine points ahead of Lens (2nd) and ten over Marseille (3rd), who are away to Reims this Sunday (9th).
On this occasion, PSG captain Kylian Mbappé was unable to save his team, despite his many deselections. In the end he went to greet the fans, unlike Messi, who quickly went to the locker room after the final whistle.
“After the goals we took control, but Steve Mandanda made some good saves in the second half. I’m not satisfied, but in the context, with so many absences, we knew it would be difficult,” said PSG manager Christophe Galtier .
In view of the match, during the presentation of the formations, some boos were heard against the Argentine champion, who has not yet renewed his contract with the French club until June.
In some game actions that Messi was not good at, he also failed.
Leo and his father and representative, Jorge Messi, are currently negotiating with PSG to renew their contract.
