But, on Friday, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé combined for a sublime goal that seemed otherworldly in its precision and fluency. In a sweeping move, Messi dribbled through midfield, then played a one-two with Juan Bernat, who was on the left-hand corner of the box, before the Argentine switched the ball to Mbappé. ET PARIS — The message has been hardly subtle: The grandeur of the Games is coming back. With a backheel flick, Mbappé found Messi again – this time inside the box – and the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner rounded the goalkeeper and tapped the ball into the net. In basketball at the highest level, there are many things to deal with,” Collet said after the game.

One of the first stops: the Eiffel Tower, on a dazzlingly sunny autumn day, to see the spot near the foot of the monument where the temporary beach volleyball venue will be built.

The broader message was clear at every stop: After dismal moods and empty arenas at the Tokyo Summer Games, postponed to 2021, and the Beijing Winter Games, held in February in a closed coronavirus bubble, the Paris Games are pledging to deliver the comeback of comebacks. I say it often, but [Messi] is one of the best players in the history of football. Before the game started, he twice tapped the undersoles his of giant shoes. He loves to play for others, has a great relationship with the ball and he is very selfless. Instead, the pride of being able to showcase a much-loved city seemed nearly palpable. ” .
