Large groups of Paris Saint-Germain fans gathered outside Le Bourget airport in the French capital, as well as the Parc des Princes, to welcome the legendary former Barcelona forward.
Various journalists claimed Messi’s arrival in Paris was imminent but it later transpired that the 34-year-old was still at his home in Castelldefels.
At one point, Messi was spotted by journalists, who’d set up camp outside his house, walking around in his swim shorts.
Considering he’s one of the most famous people on the planet, it’s rather surprising that Messi’s home is so accessible.
