Argentina got the job done in Qatar and tasted the ultimate glory for the third time. Though the World Cup break is already part of the past, La Albiceleste’s victory continued to make noise as their players started to report to their respective clubs.

Many membersof the World Cup winning squad received a hero’s welcome by their current employers,receiving guards of honors as well as standing ovations from fans. However, Lionel Messi may not get the best tribute.

While the likes of Alexis Mac Allister and Lisandro Martinez were given a warm welcome in England—just like Rodrigo de Paul, Angel Correa, and others in Spain—word around France is that PSG wouldn’t celebrate Messi’s success in his return to the Parc des Princes.
