Lionel Messi was handed a guard of honour upon returning to Paris Saint-Germain - but team-mate Kylian Mbappe missed the occasion after losing to the Argentine in the World Cup final.
Messi scored twice in the World Cup final, eventually helping lead his country to glory on penalties after a 3-3 draw. He missed out on the tournament Golden Boot, though, with Mbappe's hat-trick at Lusail Stadium seeing him finish the competition with eight goals.
Mbappe and club colleague Achraf Hakimi were both granted leave by PSG manager Christophe Galtier after the Ligue 1 leaders lost their unbeaten record with a defeat against Lens. That meant the 2018 World Cup winner wasn't present for Messi's hero's reception, though his younger brother Ethan was in attendance after recently joining PSG's first-team squad.
