This summer, he led Argentina to win its first title in 28 years, and its first major title is “La Bolga” (Lapus) with this shirt, after losing four finals, three in Copa America (2007, 2015 and 2016), and one in the World Cup (2014). ).

Messi smiled, “After fighting for years and stumbling repeatedly, I finally got there.”

He added, “I am proud to be the first player to win the Paris Saint-Germain shirt,” admitting that “I benefited a lot from seeing my family happy tonight.”

His wife Antonella and their three children wore the same black embroidered jacket as their father at Chatelet.

It is already a victory for Paris Saint-Germain, which touches the second for the French club after Jean-Pierre Papin with Marseille (1991).

The Liberian George Weah, crowned in 1995, had played the first half for Paris Saint-Germain, but he lifted the cup in the Milan shirt.

“This is the seventh for him, the club is the first,” Parisian president Nasser Al-Khelaifi relished at La Chaîne L’Équipe, congratulating Messi “warmly.”

Cristiano Ronaldo 6^NS

Solin Gala, on the other hand, to Cristiano Ronaldo “only” the sixth in the 2021 edition, who avoided the party presented by Didier Drogba and Sandy Herbert and grumbled on his account on Instagram, writing all the same: “I always send congratulations to those who win.”

With five titles, the Portuguese lags behind in his rivalry with Messi and the years pass, making the probability of the Argentine being arrested less and less.

Giant Jijiu smiled, “It’s been a great year for me.”

Finally, the Cuban Cup for Best Youngster, where 32 previously voted gold balloons, went to Pedri (19). But the Spanish prodigy is still far from Messi’s seven pearls, who already imagines searching for 8^NS The golden ball.

“I didn’t think about the sixth, seventh, eighth … I really want to start this stage of my life in Paris Saint-Germain and achieve new goals,” concluded the master of world football.
