The massive reception for Lionel Messi within hours of his possible debut with PSG

The expectative to see Lionel Messi, at least for a moment, is enormous throughout France, hours of his possible debut this Sunday against Reims. The Argentine footballer was one of the most ovations at the arrival of the Paris Saint Germain squad at the concentration hotel.

Dozens of fans were outside the gathering place from early hours, waiting to see him for the first time in Ligue 1. The moment Lionel Messi got off the bus, the ovations for the Argentine star were immediate. The former FC Barcelona player was no stranger to the fans' show of affection and made a small greeting by raising a hand.

Although it is not confirmed that Lionel Messi will start, the fans await his debut, after Mauricio Pochettino took him into account for this match. Lio was not in his best physical condition, but apparently he is already one hundred percent for the current round of the championship.

The presence of Lionel Messi at the Reims stadium meant that two weeks before the match, all tickets were sold. The French team officials indicated that requests for ticket reservations came from all over the world. So much is the fury to see the Argentine star, that some tickets that did not exceed 200 euros, are being sold for more than 5,000 euros on pages outside the club and official sales sites.
