Lionel Messi is joining Paris St Germain and in one corner of Argentina, the dream has died, at least for now.
Messi grew up in Rosario supporting local club Newell’s Old Boys and every time there is speculation over his future the name Newell’s is mentioned as a possible destination.
"When something like this happens the name of our club is always considered because of the affection involved." On arriving at Le Bourget airport, the 34-year forward waved to fans wearing a T-shirt declaring "This is Paris", a slogan often used by PSG players and fans. The six-year-old Messi was in the ground for Maradona’s debut and when he died last year Messi paid him tribute by stripping off his Barcelona shirt to reveal the Newell’s shirt the club had worn that season.
