Muchas veces para describir la grandeza de Messi se recurre a números, estadísticas y videos con sus mejores jugadas. Sin embargo, uno realmente logra comprender esa grandeza al ver los momentos posteriores a su debut con la camiseta del PSG y la devoción con que los jugadores del Stade de Reims, su rival de turno, fueron a saludarlo.

Desde su implacable marcador, el zimbabuense Marshall Munetsi, hasta el golero serbio Predrag Rajkovic, quien agarró a su pequeño hijo para que Messi lo tomara en sus brazos para una fotografía.

It’s not champagne football yet, but PSG’s perfect start to the season continued on Sunday with a 2-0 away win over Reims. Kylian Mbappé scored both the goals, highlighting how potentially devastating a move to Real Madrid would be at this moment, even following the arrival of Lionel Messi.

The 34-year-old made his PSG debut in the 66th minute, replacing Neymar on the Brazilian's first appearance of the season. 

THIS IS IT!!! PURE HISTORY!

Camino al banderín del córner, el jugador recibió un proyectil en la espalda y aunque intentó contar hasta diez no aguantó las ganas de devolver el objeto desde donde había venido.
