Lionel Messi received a beautiful reception at the Stade Auguste Delaune when he made his highly-anticipated PSG debut yesterday against Reims.
The Argentine who joined the Paris-based club earlier this month on a 2-year deal was warmly welcomed by 21,000 fans in attendance while warming up.
There was a more buzzing atmosphere when the 6-time Ballon d’Or winner replaced Brazil’s Neymar on the 65-minute of the game.
