The captain of the Argentine national team, Lionel Messi, arrived in Buenos Aires on Tuesday to join the albiceleste squad that under the orders of Lionel Scaloni will face Venezuela on Friday for the last double date of the South American qualifier to the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The arrival in Argentina means a break for Messi after the turbulence at PSG, where so far in 2022 he barely scored a goal in ten games, and whose fans booed him along with Brazilian Neymar for the elimination against Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League on March 13.
The Argentine captain arrived at Ezeiza International Airport on his private plane with his Paris Saint-Germain colleagues Ángel Di María and Leandro Paredes and left smiling from the air station but without making statements to the press.
The three joined the rest of the squad of the Argentine national team that is enlisted at the Ezeiza sports venue of the Argentine Football Association (AFA).
Messi returns to the World Cup qualified Albiceleste with Brazil to face the eliminated Venezuela, on March 25 at the 'Bombonera' in Buenos Aires, and Ecuador, on March 29 in Guayaquil.
The captain was absent from the call on the previous double date of January and February last when he came from rejoining PSG after contracting covid-19 in December in Argentina.
Nor did he play the last game for PSG, in the 3-0 defeat to Monaco, due to a flu state.
