Messi’s 38-hour craze could begin: PSG have landed in Ostend…

The country is targeted.

Messi’s madness begins at Ostend airport where the Paris Saint-Germain private jet lands shortly after 12 noon. The players immediately disembarked from the runway in a bus that takes them directly to the Van der Valk Hotel in Oostkamp. This is closed today and tomorrow to all those not staying there. The cafe and restaurant will remain closed. Paris Saint-Germain sent two chefs to cook for the players.

At six in the evening, in front of the international media, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar enter the Jan Breedel training field together.
