Lionel Messi risks it all as he abandoned the PSG title celebrations to attend a Coldplay Gig in Barcelona with Cesc Fabregas.
Barcelona fans were all screaming when they saw their legend with his wife Antonela and Cesc Fabregas at the Brit rockers’ concert.
Messi, who has won the Ballon d’Or 7 times, might be leaving PSG this summer with Barcelona wanting him back at Camp Nou.
Fans took to social media to make cheeky comments regarding Messi’s PSG celebration snub, with comments like: “Priorities. Coldplay concert >>> PSG celebrations.”
That was literally a reference to Gareth Bale’s Euro 2020 qualification celebration, where the then Madrid player held a flag that read: “Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order.”
Lionel Messi choosing to attend the gig over PSG celebrations came also as Neymar snubbed the celebrations.
German outlet BILD reported that Neymar – who was injured – was spotted partying and playing poker at the Red Bull Energy Station in Monaco until late on Saturday night.
