Paris SG, champions of Ligue 1 in 2022, won their first title of the season this Sunday in Tel Aviv, the first also for new coach Christophe Galtier, in the Champions Trophy against Nantes, winner of the Cup of France, 4-0. Neymar, author of a brace, and Leo Messi, a scorer like Sergio Ramos, offered a festival to the Israeli public, in the absence of Kylian Mbappé, suspended for this opening match of the French season, a week before the start of Ligue 1.
Messi, acclaimed
The stadium shared by Maccabi and Hapoël vibrated every time Lionel Messi touched the ball, and they even chanted the famous ‘íMeeessi! Meeeessi!”.
The Argentine star himself greeted the public when he was about to take a corner in the 66th minute. The ‘Flea’ took advantage of an excellent pass into the gap by Neymar to dribble past the Nantes goalkeeper and send the ball into the back of the net like in his best years at Barcelona.
Then the Brazilian signed the second with a remote-directed free kick to the top corner. After Sergio Ramos’ goal, Neymar put the seal on victory by causing a penalty and Jean-Charles Castelletto’s expulsion.
On a lawn that was far from optimal, and in the midst of suffocating heat and humidity, Nantes was clearly inferior to PSG.
Messi’s gesture
But Messi not only shines on the pitch. His human condition is acclaimed by his fans. After the game, a boy came to meet him, with the only hope of having him close and taking a ‘selfie’.
The security prevented the little one from approaching, which generated the reaction of Messi, who asked to be allowed to go to meet him.
Messi went to the boy and took a ‘selfie’ with him, arousing more applause from the fans who were following the scene.
This guy invaded the grass to try to shoot a photo like Messi, but he was prevented by a security in the stadium. Messi was behind the boy and shot a selfie as a fã.
Beautiful attitude! ❤ pic.twitter.com/AWheb39xou
