Just hours after PSG’s shocking home loss to Lorient, Lionel Messi and his family left for Saudi Arabia.

Despite Kylian Mappe’s absolutely bizarre goal, Christophe Galtier’s team lost 3-1 at the Parc des Princes, with goals from Enzo Le Fee, Darwin Yongwa, and Baмa Dieng in a match in which Achraf Hakii was sent off.

PSG, who continues to lead the standings by six points, suffered its sixth loss of the Ligue One season.

On Sunday, they will try to get back on track against Troyes, but Lionel Messi will have a significant turnaround.

Le Parisien reports that Messi will spend a “few days” in the Middle East after playing the entire 90 minutes of Lorient’s defeat.

The recently crowned Ballon d’Or winner was photographed at the Riyadh airport, where he frequently travels as part of his lucrative deal with Al Nassr.

One year ago, Messi visited the King of Saudi Arabia, exploring Jeddah and taking in the Red Sea. Then, in January, he returned for PSG’s friendly match against the Riyadh XI led by Cristiano Ronaldo.

His third visit to the nation will be a contractually required one due to Messi’s position as a Saudi tourism ambassador.

“I am pleased to welcome Lionel Messi and his family to Saudi Arabia for their second vacation. Minister of Tourism Ahmet Al-Khatee said, “We are glad to share our genuine Saudi hospitality with you all.

As Messi prepared to board his aircraft out of the nation, he shared photos of himself and his family across the world. These photos were published.

He commented on Instagram, “Who thought Saudi Arabia had so much green? ” When I can, I enjoy discovering its unexpected wonders.

The Athletic claims that Messi might earn $25 million annually to represent Saudi Arabia.
