Argentine superstar Lionel Messi has finally moved to a new club, ending his 21-year-long illustrious career at Barcelona. On Sunday, he made his debut for French giant Paris Saint-Germain against Reims.
It was a comfortable win for PSG, as it tamed Reims 2-0 in its away encounter, thanks to Kylian Mbappe's brace. Meanwhile, following the game, Messi continued to be the centre of attraction and did something unique.
Reims goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic was the first to approach the Argentine for a picture. However, it was not a typical picture or selfie. Rajkovic requested Messi for a photo holding the former's son.
