Lionel Messi has not yet been formally unveiled as a Paris Saint-Germain player, with his official presentation slated for Wednesday morning, but the Argentine has already donned his new strip and set foot on his new home turf.
In images released by the French club on social media, we can see Messi wearing the PSG kit for the first time and showing off his No.30 jersey.
With the no.10 we have come to associate with the little magician already taken by his friend Neymar, Messi has opted to wear the no.30, as he did when he made his Barcelona debut.
Back then, curiously, another Brazilian held the no.10 shirt: none other than Ronaldinho.
Messi thus returns to his first senior squad number as he embarks on a new adventure after more than two decades at Barcelona.
The sight of the 34-year-old in a PSG kit might take a bit of getting used to, but there's no getting away from it now and we'll no doubt be seeing a lot more from the Parisians' new no.30 in the coming months.

Ronaldinho signed for PSG in 2001, a year later he won the 2002 world cup. Mbappe signed for PSG in 2017, a year later he won the 2018 world cup. Now Lionel Messi has signed with PSG with the World Cup being played next year 👀⏳
