A stay that does not fall at the best time. Lionel Messi (35) traveled to Saudi Arabia on Monday the day following PSG lost to Lorient (1-3) at the Parc des Princes. As the group was summoned for a recovery session in the morning, the Argentinian headed for Riyadh, the Saudi capital, where his arrival at the airport did not go unnoticed. He joined the oil-rich state as part of his lucrative deal as the country’s tourism ambassador. This was confirmed by a message from Saudi Tourism Minister Ahmed Al Khateeb on Twitter.

Messi’s trip surprised his teammates who were unaware

“I am happy to welcome Messi and his family to Saudi Arabia to enjoy magical tourist destinations and authentic experiences. We welcome visitors from all over the world to experience a unique journey to Saudi Arabia and its hospitality. .” He embellished this tweet with three photos of Messi, his wife Antonella Roccuzzo and two of their three sons. The Argentinian star appears there all smiles playing a local game, feeding animals or watching a craftsman work.

On Sunday, Messi posted a message on his Instagram account (shared with the official tourism board page), appearing to announce his impending trip. “Who thought Saudi Arabia had so much greenery? I like to explore its unexpected wonders whenever I can.”

According to information from RMC Sport, Messi’s trip to Saudi Arabia did not fail to surprise those who were unaware of his Parisian teammates. Even if it was planned, the timing of this move raises questions for a player who is certainly exceptional but whose performance has not been at the level for a few games. In addition, at 35, his ability to recover raises questions. He was already in Barcelona last week to spend a few days with his family.
