The real reason why Messi took the 10 from Neymar at PSG against Marseille
PSG, prior to the Champions League round of 16 key against Bayern Munich, had a difficult test against Olympique de Marseille, within the framework of the French Cup. Prior to the French classic, Neymar had a great gesture towards Lionel Messi, where he once again demonstrated his idolatry towards the top winner of the Ballon d’Or (7).
The French Cup is the tournament organized by the French Football Federation (FFF) and has peculiar regulations. All players who start as starters must wear the numbers from 1 to 11. Lionel Messi occupies the number 30 and there was expectation about which shirt he would wear against Olympique de Marseille.
Prior to the French classic, it was announced that Neymar gave the number 10 to the world champion, while the Brazilian donned the 11 with which he shone at Santos and FC Barcelona. Thus, the selected carioca ratified his admiration and respect for the “Flea”, who seeks to win the French Cup, the only tournament he has played and has not won the title.
When will Lionel Messi sign his renewal with PSG?
Despite the fact that everything was on track for the signing of the new contract until 2024, Lionel Messi decided to pause the negotiations and focus fully on the Champions League. The captain of the Argentine team will decide his future after the key against Bayern Munich. The Parisian board is confident that he will reach an agreement with the best player in history, who is happy in Paris.
