Paris Saint-Germain forward Lionel Messi \u2013 long missing his old playing buddies back in the good old Camp Nou days \u2013was\u00a0gloriously\u00a0was reunited with his old best mates Luis Suarez and Cesc Fabregas over the weekend.<\/p>\n
The three great friends and former playing colleagues reunited in Paris to celebrate the birthday of Messi\u2019s wife, Antonella Roccuzzo as the latter is close friends with Fabregas\u2019 and Suarez\u2019s wives also.<\/p>\n
Amongst the three, Messi was the one who had spent the longest time at Camp Nou, having made his senior debut in 2004 and played for the Blaugrana until the summer of 2021 when he departed for PSG on a free transfer when the rot that had long set in at Barcelona had gotten to a stage where they couldn\u2019t afford to renew his contract.<\/p>\n
Fabregas enjoyed an intimate friendship with Messi and came through the youth system at Barcelona but eventually broke as a regular senior on the first XI at Arsenal. He then returned to Camp Nou in 2011, spending three years playing alongside Messi before departing for Chelsea in 2014.<\/p>\n
Suarez \u2013 an inextricable part of the much-feared MSN, or Messi-Suarez-Neymar, trident \u2013 joined Barcelona that same summer, playing an integral role alongside Neymar in helping Messi fire Barcelona to their magnificent treble that season under Spaniard Luis Enrique. Suarez himself was left with no option but to depart Camp Nou for Atletico Marid in 2020 under lamentably ignominious circumstances, which seriously incensed his best mate, Messi.<\/p>\n
Hopefully such intimate soirees will serve to further revitalize the Argentine wizard to help spur him to rediscover his best form on the pitch with his current PSG teammates for the Parisian club to lay their hands on their elusive first Champions League trophy, which would be the fifth for Messi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
