Lionel Messi is currently in the headlines for various reasons. While the player recently won the prestigious Laureas Award, the attacker also made the news due to his recent suspension. The 35-year-old got suspended by his domestic side, PSG, after he made an announced trip. It also came with a two-week wage cut, with the Argentine later apologizing.

This led the club to take a big U-turn and finally revoke his suspension. He joined his teammates again and even featured in a recent domestic match. While the supporters came in numbers, Messi had some special backing from the crowds. While PSG played a brilliant game, it also saw the reunion of MSN.

The trio of Messi, Neymar, and Suarez is one of the most iconic trios in the history of soccer. It created havoc on the pitch, as the opposition was scared even before the game started. But now the trio has been disseminated, with Messi and Neymar once again reuniting at PSG, and Suarez playing outside of Europe at Gremio. However, that didn’t stop them from getting together. During the match, Neymar, who is currently sidelined with an injury, was sitting in the stands.

Hence, while watching his club play, the Brazilian face timed Luis Suarez to have a chat, while watching their friend Messi play on the pitch. Neymar even shared the glimpses on his Instagram story. The playmaker posted a picture where he can be seen holding his phone with Suarez on the video call.

He also shared a caption saying, “Assistindo nosso amigo @leomessi ‘Juntos’.” As translated by Google Translate, Neymar wrote, “Watching our friend Leo Messi ‘together’.”

The trio wasn’t on the pitch, but it was nostalgic to see Neymar and Suarez watch their amigo. Indeed, the soccer world misses MSN and would love them to watch any day. The story must have brought a smile to Messi’s face. However, he must have been sad when he returned home, as he received a lot of boos from PSG fans.

It was a brilliant win for PSG, who thrashed Ajaccio 5-0 at Parc des Princes. Goals from Fabian Ruiz, and Achraf Hakimi, a brace from Kylian Mbappe, and an own goal helped the Parisians clinch three points. The match for PSG ended with 10 men on their side as Hakimi received a red card in the 77th minute.
