PSG wins as Messi watches from the stands
Lionel Messi stood and smiled, looking transfixed as Paris Saint-Germain fans chanted the football great’s name before the club’s 4-2 home win against Strasbourg in the French league.
Paris
PSG’s latest signing joined four other recruits and was presented on the field to about 49,000 fans at the Parc des Princes Stadium before kick-off. Messi was not in the actual squad for the game, which saw PSG coast to a 3-0 lead only to get pegged back to 3-2. A late red card for Strasbourg eased the pressure.
