Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi trained on Thursday (January 5) with Paris Saint-Germain ahead of a Coupe de France match against LB Chateauroux, in one of his first training sessions with club teammates since the end of a victorious World Cup stint.
Messi was welcomed back by the club with a guard of honour on Wednesday (January 4) after a 17-day hiatus following his World Cup victory with Argentina's national soccer team.
The 35-year-old forward, a seven-time winner of the Ballon D'Or, helped Argentina lift the World Cup trophy by beating France on penalties in the final on Dec. 18.
Messi has reached a deal with Paris St Germain to stay with the club for at least the 2023-24 season.
