FRANCE SAINT- According to a rumor, GERMANY is hesitant to allow Lionel Messi to carry Argentina’s World Cup trophy around the Parc des Princes because they are concerned about possible retaliation.
The illustrious 35-year-old captain led his nation to its third-ever World Cup with a 4-2 victory over France in the penalty shootout.
Within the first 120 minutes of play, Messi struck twice, with the other goal for the South American winners coming from former PSG friend Angel Di Maria.

Mbappe, a current PSG teammate of Messi’s, went on a one-man mission for France and scored a hat-trick, becoming the second player ever to do so after Sir Geoff Hurst of England in 1966.
Messi wants to display the renowned gold trophy at Parc des Princes, but club officials are hesitant to comply with his request, according to Goal.
They worry that Parisians would find it controversial.
The final defeat also crushed Mbappe, which would irritate the Frenchman given that Messi’s Argentina friend Emiliano Martinez has previously gone to great lengths to make fun of him.
Martinez made fun of the 24-year-old by requesting a “minute of silence” in the locker room for him.
He then stood next to Messi during their victory parade in Buenos Aires and put up a baby doll with the image of his rival.
It is unlikely that PSG would have objected to Messi flaunting the sparkling trophy if Argentina had defeated ANY other nation.
On December 28, PSG will play again against Strasbourg.
Mbappe has already resumed training, along with Neymar and Marquinhos of Brazil.
Messi’s participation in PSG’s comeback to competitive play is uncertain.
