They "chased" him all day.
After the Argentinian player quickly appeared on his arrival at Le Bourget airport, PSG fans who wanted to see Lionel Messi had to show perseverance.
In Neuilly-sur-Seine, there were dozens of them who thought they could satisfy their curiosity in front of the entrance to the American hospital where the star was to pass his medical examination.
Missed.
The many police officers who accompanied the procession of "La Pulga" prevented the more reckless from approaching.
And Messi did not deign to show up.
At the beginning of the evening, the brave people who had been patient at the Parc des Princes all afternoon, had the joy of seeing the footballer show the tip of his nose and send them a quick "hello", before rushing into a black van. Direction the Royal Monceau where the family put down their suitcases before finding more permanent accommodation. In front of the palace, all smiles and wearing a “Ici c'est Paris” t-shirt, Messi greeted the supporters present before disappearing into the hotel lobby… and reappearing with his partner and children on the balcony of their suite. Antonela Roccuzzo immortalized the crowd below and her husband kept waving his hand in the direction of the fans.
On Wednesday, the Argentinian will give his first press conference at the Parc des Princes. A new chance for the most addicted to perhaps see the new PSG player.
