After grandiose festivities following the title of world champion gleaned with the Albiceleste, the Argentine striker took advantage of a few days of rest with his family before joining his teammates.
He is the last PSG globalist to return to the training grounds.

The two players thus took part in the two matches of PSG during the holidays in L1 (victory against Strasbourg 2-1, defeat at Lens 3-1) before being granted ten days of rest.
