Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has a smile on his face, who is already seeing the fruit of his investment of August 10.

The seventh Ballon d'Or of Lionel Messi, the first won in the jersey of PSG, represents "immense pride" for the club, therefore logically assured its president in a statement released Monday evening.

"I would like to warmly congratulate Leo".

"Like all our supporters around the world, we are delighted to see one of the greatest players of all time playing in the Red and Blue jersey," said the Qatari leader.

George Weah left Paris slightly too early

This is the second time that a French club has seen one of its players receive a Ballon d'Or, after Jean-Pierre Papin in 1991, under the jersey of Olympique de Marseille.

The other tricolor winners played abroad, Raymond Kopa (1958) at Real Madrid and Michel Platini (1983, 1984 and 1985) and Zinédine Zidane (1998) at Juventus Turin.

George Weah, winner in 1995, wore the PSG jersey in the first half but was playing for AC Milan when he received the award.

History has this time chosen the mirror path to repeat itself: Messi played the first half of the season with FC Barcelona.
