Paris in February is probably the most romantic place on Earth, yet nothing that’ll happen in the city this month will take the breath away like Lionel Messi.
Couples from all over France, Europe and beyond will congregate in the lead-up to Valentine’s Day, hoping to spark some romance into their relationships.
While some will have visions of proposing at the top of the Eiffel Tower or a steamy rendezvous in one of Paris’ many hotels, the savvier will trek to the Parc des Princes on February 14 to see PSG take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
More specifically, they’ll pilgrimage to see Messi. The 35-year-old led Argentina to World Cup glory less than two months ago but, if anything, the euphoria of finally completing football has only spurred him on to new heights.

Toulouse jockeyed and hustled, never daring to break their shape and actually attempt to dispossess Hakimi. Their foolishness would be swiftly, and deservedly, punished.
Having lured everybody into a false sense of security with one of his trademark ambles, Messi suddenly burst into life and snapped up the loose ball like a starved Hungry Hippo.

The best footballers are geniuses because they make the game appear simple. By that metric, Messi truly is the GOAT.
MESSI!! 💥
No warning, no backlift, just a wand of a left foot 🪄💫
