Joined as a free agent from Barcelona, Lionel Messi signed a two year contract with Paris Saint Germain. But alas, his in Ligue 1 will be delayed again after Mauricio Pochettino left him out of the squad.

After an amazing 21 years, La Pulga finally chose to abandon El Barca. The relationship between the two ended after the club had €1,2 billion debt and broke LaLiga regulations.

After signing a two year contract with another year option, the 34-year-old gets a big salary around €35 million a year. Unfortunately, fans need to wait a little longer until the player has a debut.

According to Goal and ESPN, Lionel Messi will not be included in game week 2 of Ligue 1 2021-22. Pochettino decides to let an ex-captain of Barcelona have another holiday.

The decision comes from the fact the six-time Ballon d'Or winner returned late after winning the Copa America with Argentina. This decision also applies to Neymar who joined the Brazil national team.

Lionel Messi didn't feature in PSG's 4-2 against Strasbourg in the first week of Ligue 1. He also will be absent in a duel against Brest. As part of Pochettino comment, the debut of the greatest player on earth will happen in week 3 between Les Parisiens vs Reims.
