After leading Argentina to victory at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Lionel Messi took an extended sabbatical before returning to France earlier this month. The reigning world champion has faced Angers and Rennes in two league contests since his comeback. In his first game back, Messi assisted on the second goal in Christophe Galtier’s team’s 2-0 victory over Angers. However, he did participate in all 90 minutes of their loss to Rennes on January 15.

Messi played for PSG when they went to Saudi Arabia to play a friendly match against the Riyadh All-Star XI. The former FC Barcelona forward scored the game’s first goal as the French team won 5-4 in exciting fashion.
