The Parque de los Príncipes Stadium, at the top.
A challenge to the Covid and with a health passport in hand to receive the new star:
Leo Messi
, at Paris Saint Germain.
There are thousands of people, the stadium is completely covered
(there will be 48,000 spectators)
, the doors opened at six in the afternoon (local time) for what will be the presentation of Messi and the new players;
plus the game, which is just going to start at nine at night.
There are families, there are boys with Messi's shirt, there are the elderly.
It is a true party atmosphere, but essentially calm.
Different
food
trucks
with food from different parts of the world
were installed around the stadium
.
And of course, there are also the
boutiques
that sell Messi's shirt.
One can buy a
shirt at
an official boutique
for 180 euros
, but the club earns only 40 euros and it costs only 5 euros to manufacture.
All
Messi's
merchandising
is big business
.
Like hot cakes: Messi's shirt, at 180 euros.

It is a splendid day in summer Paris, with the celestial sky: everyone celebrates the arrival of the new star.
PSG-Racing Strasbourg preview
Half an hour before the kickoff,
Leo will climb to a platform located in the center of the field
with the Moroccan Achraf Hakimi, the Dutch Georginio Wijnaldum, the Italian Gianluigi Donnarumma and the Spanish Sergio Ramos, the other four PSG reinforcements for this season.
The five will briefly speak to the public, although the greatest attention is focused on the Argentine.
Fans will have to wait to see Messi play.

Although every movement of the Rosario since his landing in Paris on Tuesday was hyper-exposed by how much audiovisual platform was available,
this will be the first time that a crowd will share time and space in the French capital with the star reinforcement
. It will also be the first time that the Park of the Princes is full after 17 months of closed doors and limited capacity as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
So far, and without most of its figures, the team did not show too much.
Last weekend, he had to work hard to defeat Troyes 2-1 in his debut in Ligue 1.
This Saturday, two days after the club's 51st birthday, the test will be against Racing de Strasbourg
, which in the first date lost 2 to 0 with Angers, but that he will not “go as a victim” to the Parc des Princes, as announced by his coach, Julien Stéphan.
