Lionel Messi left Barcelona in tears without imagining the reception he would have in Paris on August 10.
Everything was surprise and joy in the French capital, with the presentation of the best player in the world as the new Paris Saint-Germain footballer.
However, happiness was not complete: at his home in Castelldefels
Hulk
and
Abú
, the Messi family mascots, were left waiting for Lionel and Antonela Roccuzzo to define where they will settle in the "PSG stage" of Rosario.
The couple has several mansions in the pipeline, they say, and once they make the decision they will make the complete move, also bringing their dogs.
On his first weekend off, awaiting his debut with the Parisian club shirt, Lionel jumped on a plane and returned to Spanish land, where together with Anto and his three children they were reunited with their friends and also with the Hulk and Abu.
Hulk, the Messi Dogue de Bordeaux.
They weigh 65 kilos.
Anto was in charge of showing the joy of a Saturday in pure sunshine,
with a party in the pool at home
, a toast, a round of dance and a photo of all the little ones gathered.
Elena Galera, wife of Sergio Busquets (plays in Bilbao for Barça), also appears on the Messi terrace accompanying her old friends.
But the stars of the meeting were Abú and Hulk, well embraced by the Messi, a love relationship that transcends all the controversy generated around the departure of the former 10 culé to French football, where he will wear the 30 shirt.

The Messi dogs
With an XXL size (they can weigh between 55 and 65 kilos) and the name of a green superhero, the Hulk arrived at the footballer's home in 2016 at the hands of Antonela: “New member of my family.
Thank you love for this beautiful gift ”, Leo said at the time.
The breed of this huge dog is the Dogue de Bordeaux.
"Although it was originally used as a protective dog, currently it is an excellent companion dog, being very affectionate and protective of its family", explained this week to Clarín from a canine kennel specialized in this breed.
The Messi welcomed many friends and enjoyed a day of sun and pool.
In addition, they added that it is "a very balanced, calm and affectionate dog with the family to which it belongs, especially with its owner, showing astonishing loyalty and fidelity towards all its members."
Abú arrived later, and is more attached to Antonela, not by chance the little brown Toy Poddle appears in the photos this Saturday posing placidly on the legs of Messi's wife.
Abú, Antonela Roccuzzo's poodle toy.
He came home in October 2020.
Last October, Anto was in charge of introducing the last and most active member of the family, when he shared a photo on Instagram and the word Abú next to a heart.
Messi is expected to arrive in Paris in the next few hours to return to PSG training on Monday morning.
Little by little the rest of the family will do it, including the Hulk and Abu, of course.
Back in Barcelona, Antonela was reunited with friends.
