Paris Greater beat Reims 4–0 on January 24, and the returning Messi came on as a substitute in the second half to make his Grand Paris New Year debut and contribute an assist. This assist was given a oolong ball because the ball played by Verratti on goal was hit by the opponent and broke the net, but on January 25, it was officially confirmed that it was Verratti's goal, and Messi received this late assist.

But Messi just finished warming up, and he didn't play again. It was possible to go to Argentina to play the World Cup, but because Argentina had already advanced to the World Cup last year, Argentina needed to save the use of the old Messi, and Paris strongly demanded not to recruit Messi, messi himself agreed to this decision, so he did not fly back to Argentina to play the World Preliminary Tournament with his compatriots Di Maria and Paredes after the game.

Since he did not play the World Cup, and the next game in Paris is still a few days away, and it is the French Cup, Messi is equivalent to a holiday. Messi doesn't like to go to nightclubs during the holidays, he doesn't play around during work, he likes to spend time with his wife and children at home, or go to find friends to get together. This time, Messi went to find a friend. But not Neymar or Aguero, but the old acquaintance Harvey.

So an interesting topic arises – Messi's return to Barcelona! This Barcelona refers to the city, not the club. According to the january 25 report, Messi returned to Barcelona to eat with Xavi and others! Also give female fans autographs on Barca shirts! Messi returned to Barcelona, had dinner with the Barca manager and signed autographs for female fans on Barca shirts, which looked like he was still at Barca. However, the previous Barcelona coaches were all old men, and Messi respected them, but the relationship would not be good enough to be with Xavi. So, Xavi may be the first Barca manager to be a friend of Messi, the difference is that Messi is not a Barca player anymore.

Messi returned to Barcelona not only to meet old friends, but also to celebrate Xavi's birthday. January 25 is Harvey's birthday, and Messi, an old friend, came to the scene. Messi can also look at the city where he has lived for more than 20 years, and he may also return to Barcelona for the elderly in the future, or even return to Barca to retire. Messi's mansion at Barca has always been kept, and The World Sport joked on April Fools' Day last year that Ronaldo wanted to join Barca, rent a mansion with Messi, and watch seven Ballon d'Ors.

Harvey's birthday, of course, it's not just Messi. Messi also saw other old friends at the scene, such as Busquets and Alba. Alba didn't have a driver's license before, but is now able to drive himself. Messi had been surrounded by a group of reporters before signing the female fans. According to the Marca reporter, this is not about work, but about a long-term private dinner between old friends related to birthdays.
