The incredible reaction of a group of children on the field of play when they saw Lionel Messi enter Maccabi-PSG

Lionel Messi, the main attraction in Israel

As is often the case in every country he visits, Lionel Messi magnetized the looks of all outsiders. Just as it happens to him when he plays with the Argentine national team in various parts of the globe and previously happened to him when he wore the Barcelona shirt, Rosario continues to be the main attraction of a Paris Saint Germain which is full of figures. The sample of it was given by a group of children who pounced before it began the duel for the Champions League against Maccabi Haifa.

Such is the degree of idolatry that Leo has in Israel that the children who waited on the field of play and posed for the cameras next to the team formations, went to his position to hug and greet him. Out of the blue, the pair of boys who were closest to his position extended their arms to him. Soon two more came over. And once the ranks were broken, others ran to their position for minimal contact. The faces of astonishment made the words redundant.

The affection that the Argentine received in the moments before the match valid for the second day of Group H of the Champions League motivated him: at 37 minutes, he scored what was his first goal of the season in international tournaments (and the fifth so far this campaign).

Now Messi will prepare to conquer the attention in USA again with the albiceleste shirt. The team led by Lionel Scaloni will face one of the last tests just before debuting in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. On Friday, September 23, the Albiceleste will be measured before Honduras in Miami. Meanwhile, on Tuesday 9/27 they will be seen in front of Jamaica In New York. In addition, it is planned that in November there will be a final test against the United Arab Emirates.

Argentina’s debut in the World Cup will be on Tuesday, November 22 against Saudi Arabia. Then they will clash against Mexico (Saturday 11/26) and will define their classification to the round of 16 against Poland (Wednesday 11/30).
