The champagne was out in Reims. PSG won among the Rémois (0-2), Sunday at the end of the 4th day of Ligue 1, thanks to a double from Kylian Mbappé. Lionel Messi made his debut in the Paris jersey.
It was the long awaited event and it took place. Lionel Messi is a PSG player. If he had signed his contract a few days ago, he has now worn the jersey of the club of the capital. Came into play at the 66e minute of play to Auguste Delaune -, who had not seen that since Raymond Kopa and Just Fontaine in the 1950s -, in place of his friend Neymar and under the applause of the stadium, “La Pulga” officially became a player of Ligue 1.

If the former glory of FC Barcelona did not necessarily show itself in this lapse of time on the ground, it is Kylian Mbappé, around whom the rumors of transfers are strong, who was the “hero” of the match . Two days before the closing of the summer transfer window, the French world champion stood out with a double head (15th) and left foot (63rd), as if nothing had happened.
After the meeting, there were many questions about the future of the Paris striker. But the players and Mauricio Pochettino replied that they were counting on him this season and that they were happy to have him.
In any case, this success in Reims allows the PSG to remain king of the L1 with 12 points garnered, the maximum, and Angers for dolphin (10 pts). Perfect before the fifteen days of international truce.
