Paris Saint-Germain head coach Christophe Galtier has allayed fears over Lionel Messi receiving a hostile reception upon his return to the French capital following his World Cup heroics.
The veteran playmaker helped Argentina to their third major success in Qatar last month after overcoming France in the final. Messi managed to get on the scoresheet twice, whilst his PSG colleague Kylian Mbappe notched a hat-trick despite ending on the losing side.
Messi is yet to return to action for the French champions having been granted an extended break following his commitments in Qatar and further celebrations in Argentina. Ahead of him being reunited with his teammates and French supporters, Galtier has moved to calm talk over somewhat of an uncomfortable reception for the Argentine.
