The French Revolution moved to football and he has a first and last name: Lionel Messi.
The Argentine has spent a handful of hours in the capital of lights and generated a commotion that transcends all borders.
The lines are incessant to try to get his shirt with the number 30 in the official Paris Saint Germain store.
Such is the euphoria, that in less than 48 hours it has already reached one million sales of the jacket that it will wear in the Park of the Princes.
But the expectation is everywhere.
This is how it was seen at the door of the hotel when the Rosario arrived from Barcelona and settled in a luxurious building in the center, a few meters from the Arc de Triomphe.
The latest novelty in this reality show that promises episodes of all kinds was the appearance of crack in a Parisian shopping center.
Yes, Messi enjoyed some free time after morning practice with the team led by Mauricio Pochettino and toured shops with his children.
INSANITY FOR MESSI!

In the video that was broadcast through social networks, Mateo is seen playing with a ball while some fans, surprised to see the idol there, greet him and cheer.
As confirmed by the footballer in the interviews he gave in his official presentation with his new club, it is expected that in the next few hours both his wife and his children will return to Barcelona to continue with the logical procedures of a move that took them by surprise.
At this time they will also finalize details to settle permanently in Paris in a house, presumably near the area where Angel Di María and Leandro Paredes live, two of the Argentines on the team.

For now, this Saturday in the clash for the second date of Ligue1 against Racing de Strasbourg Messi will be at the Parc des Princes and will have the first contact with the fans who can already attend the field of play.
Although, of course, his debut will have to wait as he will continue with the physical set-up after a month of vacation and the traumatic departure from Barcelona.
As announced by the club, Messi will greet the people when the reinforcements appear on the playing field at 2:30 p.m.
The other names will be Achraf Hakimi, Georginio Wijnaldum, Gianluigi Donnarumma - recent champion with Italy of the European Championship - and Sergio Ramos - former captain of Real Madrid.
In relation to the game, Neymar, Ángel Di María, Marquinhos and Marco Verrati, who added their first week of training, would not be from the game, in counterpoint to Kylian Mbappé, one of the great figures of Mauricio Pochettino's team.
PSG won in their first light duel against Troyes (2-1) with the idea of stealing the crown from Lille, the last champion, in a season with a high bar for the 'dream team' armed in this passing market.
