A few days after the announcement of his departure from PSG to join Miami, Lionel Messi traveled to Beijing, China, to play a friendly match. "As I couldn't buy a ticket for the match, I booked a room in the same hotel as Messi and I was hoping to see him," said the 26-year-old.

"I waited from 9 a.m. to noon," Liu Yuheng, wearing the Barça shirt where Messi spent the vast of his career, told AFP.
