Lionel Messi Gets Stunning Birthday Reception, Scores Brilliant Free Kick in Newell’s Old Boys Return

 Lionel Messi, Argentina's World mug-winning star, played a match for his club from yesteryear Newell’s Old Boys on Saturday night and scored a brilliant chapeau trick.

Former Liverpool winger Maxi Rodriguez, who retired from playing football in 2021 after his third spell with Newell’s Old Boys, had invited Messi and former Argentine teammate Sergio Aguero to play in his epitaphial game on June 24.

Newell’s Old Boys Club gave their boyhood idol a stunning hello and put up a banner of support for their country’s captain.

Messi marked the occasion with a stunning chapeau trick and also entered a standing acclamation at the farewell party.

In a pitchside interview, Messi noted that it was his first birthday as a world champion and that it's “ always beautiful ” to be back in Rosario where the people were always “ so tender ” with him.

Messi will officially join Inter Miami on July 1 and also is likely to make his debut on July 21.
