Messi has a lot of affinity with the stars who have already been at PSG for years, especially with his friend and former Barcelona teammate, Neymar, and with other Argentines like Leandro Paredes and Angel Di María. In addition, it will be led by Mauricio Pochettino, also Argentine coach and with a past in the same club that played the flea as a child, Newell’s Old Boys de Rosario.
