The Argentine star, Lionel Messi, the Paris Saint-Germain player, wore shirt No. 10 in the French El Clasico between Marseille and its guest, the Parisian team, in the price of the French Football Cup final.
And the fans asked the question about the reasons for Messi's abandonment of the number "30", which he used to wear since his arrival in the French capital in the summer of 2021?

The answer is that there is a tradition in the French Cup indicating that in the final price of the tournament, the main 11 players must wear numbers from 1 to 11.
That is why Neymar gave Messi the number "10" shirt, and he wore the number "11", which he used to wear when he was a player in Barcelona.
