Lionel Messi upon his arrival at the Pullman Hotel, March 9, 2021. -

It's a habit that's part of the folklore of Champions League games, and frankly, we never tire of it.

Let us pay tribute here to the courageous Parisian supporters, who even during a curfew, have found a way to organize a small reception for the Catalan players on the eve of the return match between PSG and Barça.

The object of the exploit?

Make enough noise to wake up the opponent as late as possible in the night before the match, near the Pullman hotel, located not far from the Eiffel Tower.

A quite honorable fireworks display was thus fired around 4 am in the 15th arrondissement of the capital, sometimes generating a little concern in the neighborhood.

slept well @FCBarcelona?

Note that the Parisians were entitled to the same preferential treatment before the first leg, which did not prevent them from rolling over Messi and company at Camp Nou.

We prefer that to the vulgar banners deployed at the beginning of the week and aimed at Shakira, Piqué's companion, who will be absent at the Parc des Princes.
