According to TYC Sports , on the evening of March 20, Messi went with his mother, brother, sister and a few friends to a restaurant in the Palermo district of the capital Buenos Aires.
When they learned that the national team captain was in the restaurant, many Argentine fans gathered outside in the hope of taking photos, filming and expressing their affection for superstar Messi.
According to the source, when leaving, the striker born in 1987 refused the offer to leave the restaurant through a secret back door to avoid being disturbed. Messi decided to go out through the main door, meeting thousands of fans.
In a shared video , the PSG superstar looks startled but then smiles as he walks out.
He was flanked by bodyguards, chefs and shop assistants standing behind him, all looking at the national team captain. When they saw Messi, the crowd of fans went wild.
The Sun said the veteran striker returned to his homeland Argentina to prepare for friendly matches with Panama and Curacao.
This is his first trip back to his homeland since he and his teammates paraded to celebrate the Gold Cup at the end of December last year.
Millions of people poured into the streets of Buenos Aires to welcome the players, forcing the parade to be cut short. Messi and his teammates could no longer stay on the open-top bus and were evacuated by helicopter.
The Argentine superstar was cheered by home fans after winning the 2022 World Cup with his national team. Previously, Messi had been criticized by home fans for many years due to his continuous failures in the finals of the World Cup and Copa America.
There was a time when Messi said goodbye to the national team but then changed his mind and returned to his teammates.
A day before returning to Argentina, Messi walked straight into the tunnel, not greeting PSG fans because a group of fans whistled and mocked him after the 0-2 loss to Rennes in Ligue 1.
Although PSG is still leading the French national championship, 7 points ahead of second-placed Marseille, the star-studded team has suffered a lot of criticism, especially after being eliminated by Bayern Munich in the Champions League round of 16.
In 32 matches in all competitions since the beginning of the season, Messi has been rated as the best player with 18 goals and 17 assists. His contract with the French team will expire this summer but the two sides have not agreed to extend it.
Lionel Messi was born in 1987 and is a famous Argentine football superstar. He is considered a Barca legend with a record of 34 titles, 672 goals and 266 assists in the club's history.
With Barca, Messi has 10 La Liga, 7 King's Cups, 7 Spanish Super Cups, 4 Champions Leagues, 3 European Super Cups and 3 FIFA Club World Cups with Barca.
In the summer of 2021, the famous striker left the team he had been with since his teenage years to join PSG because Barca had financial problems and could not renew his contract.
