There was defeat.
There were whistles.
There was no goal 800. But what Lionel Messi did not lack this Sunday was the hug of his three children.
Thiago, Mateo and Ciro received him at his house with all the love in the world for their father after PSG's defeat at the hands of Rennes in Ligue 1 in France.
The photo was published by Antonela Roccuzzo in an Instagram story and showed how the three heirs of the best in history received their father and greeted him on Father's Day.
Yes, in Spain it is celebrated this Sunday and in the house in Paris they did not let the date pass beyond the fact that in Argentina it is celebrated in June.

The hugs came after Rennes (5th), already victorious in the first round, defeated Paris Saint-Germain (1st) again, this Sunday at the Parc des Princes 2-0, in a game on matchday 28 in which Messi received some whistles when the alignment was announced and in various actions.
Karl Toko Ekambi and Arnaud Kalimuendo sentenced a PSG that added its seventh defeat in 2023, counting all competitions, the fourth of the season in Ligue 1.
Ten days from the end of the competition, PSG has a nine-point lead over Lens (2nd) and ten over Marseille (3rd), who travel to Reims (9th) this Sunday.
On this occasion, Kylian Mbappé, captain of PSG, could not save his team, despite his numerous unchecks.
In the end he went to greet the fans, unlike Messi, who rushed to the locker room after the final whistle.
"After the goals we took control, but Steve Mandanda had good saves in the second half. I'm not satisfied, but in the context, with the many absences, we knew it would be difficult," said PSG coach Christophe Galtier.
In the run-up to the game, during the presentation of the line-ups, some whistles were heard against the Argentine star, who has not yet renewed his contract with the French club until June.
In some game actions in which Messi was not good, he was also failed.
Leo and his father and representative, Jorge Messi, are currently negotiating with PSG to renew their contract.
