Neymar and Lionel Messi, two masters to play in the same team ... But only one number 10 behind the back.
If the dream of seeing the six-fold Golden Ball wearing the Parisian tunic has come true, fans still wonder what number he will wear before going to flock their jersey.
The choice of the Argentine star is now known: it will be number 30.
We thought for a while to see Lionel Messi with the number 10 on the back.
The future PSG striker would have refused the offer of his great friend Neymar, to leave him his favorite number.
This is confirmed by the clip produced by PSG, where in the locker room, jerseys number 10 (Neymar) and 7 (Mbappé) surround the Argentine flag of the “mysterious” future recruit.
There would only remain the numbers 19 and 30. The Argentinian therefore leaned for the first, for the moment held by the Spaniard Pablo Sarabia.
The final choice fell on number 30, his first number at Barça.
A way of closing the loop, a wink that generally appeals to athletes.
Tuesday, at the end of the afternoon, Lionel Messi went to the Parc des Princes to take photos and video. Witnesses caught him showing off his new jersey, with the now famous number 30.
