Highlights: Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria would like to take part in the Olympic Games in Paris. The two Argentinians already won the Games in Beijing in 2008. Argentina is, for the moment, not qualified for the games, and will have to get her ticket through a qualifying tournament. Only three players over the age of 23 will be able to play in the Games. Other stars, like Kylian Mbappé, have also declared that they want to be part of the team.


The two Argentinians would like to take part in the Olympic Games with the Albiceleste this summer in Paris


Despite his tumultuous adventure with Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi could make his return to the capital, starting this summer.

But not with the Parisian club, with which his adventure turned sour at the end, not helped, it must be said, by his multiple declarations against his former team.

The eight-time Golden Ball winner, and recent winner of the Best trophy, would like to take part in the Paris Olympic Games.

According to the Argentine media DirecTV Sports, he would be accompanied in this dream by Angel Di Maria, who left him with excellent memories for local supporters.

The two men, who already won the Games in Beijing in 2008, could be one of the many attractions of the Olympic football tournament.

Another point to note, only three players over the age of 23 will be able to take part.

But this would not pose a problem for the Argentine Football Federation.

The only small detail, but one with serious consequences, Argentina is, for the moment, not qualified!

She will therefore have to get her ticket for the games, through a qualifying tournament.

Which could be done by February 11, during a pre-Olympic tournament organized by Conmebal (South American confederation).

Other stars have declared that they want to take part, like Kylian Mbappé who would like to wear the blue jersey.
