Fresh from leading Argentina to victory at the 2022 World Cup, Messi caused a stir in Mexico by posing with compatriot Juan Ignacio Dinenno’s Pumas shirt.
World Cup winner Lionel Messi was a hot topic among Mexican social-media users on Monday, after a photograph emerged of the Argentina and Paris Saint-Germain star posing with a Pumas shirt given to him by countryman and Auriazules forward Juan Ignacio Dinneno.
Dinenno “speechless” as Messi poses with shirt
It was Dinenno himself who shared the image, the forward unable top hide his joy at seeing the seven-time Ballon d’Or recipient holding his No. 9 jersey. “Speechless”, the 28-year-old wrote on his Instagram account, in a post that led numerous Pumas supporters to thank Messi for the gesture.
Pumas out to bounce back after poor Apertura 2022
After failing to make the playoffs in the Liga MX’s Apertura 2022 championship, Pumas head into the Clausura 2023 with a new head coach in charge, Rafael Puente del Río replacing Andrés Lillini in the dugout at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario.
Los Auriazules have had mixed results in preseason, having failed to reach the final of the Copa Sky friendly tournament, despite beating Apertura 2022 regular-season champions Club América.
Pumas play their first game of the Clausura 2023 at home to Juárez on Sunday 8 January.

tbh messi is finished at club level, he gave his all for Argentina, he doesn't care about Psg. I think he will retire in 2024. Psg kept him for global attraction.

Messi will now enjoy football and will be absolutely lethal. The annihilated Ronaldo fans will say he can't do that in a very hot place where Ronaldo is struggling. Get a life
