PSG is in Portugal for the Champions League match against Benfica. The Portuguese fans were watching the Parisian arrival and Lionel Messi again 'stole' the limelight that Kylian Mbappe demands so much.

The Paris Saint-Germain team has a good cushion of points with respect to its competitors in the group, however, it did not relax because Juventus could win its two matches against Maccabi Haifa, and thus put pressure on Galtier's team.

The team coached by Christophe Galtier is already on Portuguese soil for the match of the third matchday against Benfica, where Nicolás Otamendi and Enzo Fernández are star players. The local fans did not want to miss the opportunity and were eagerly awaiting Leo Messi.

Several fans came to the hotel where PSG was staying, with the sole purpose of seeing the maximum winner of the Ballon d'Or (7). Wearing Leo's jersey, they hoped to have a special moment with the captain of the Argentine national team, who has seven goals and eight assists with the French team.

Messi has the limelight, Mbappé the controversies:

The fans' affection for Lionel Messi is evident on every pitch. On the other hand, Kylian Mbappé, characterized by his controversial statements and for wanting to impose conditions at PSG, does not have the backing of the fans (with the exception of PSG) and has been booed on more than one occasion.
