The world champion was warmly welcomed by his teammates, staff and club collaborators. The Parisian number 30 also received a trophy for the occasion.
“Welcome back Leo,” said the tweet from the club’s official account along with a video of the 35-year-old arriving at the training centre, putting his Parisian tunic and being welcomed onto the pitch with a guard of honour by staff and his teammates, including Brazil star Neymar.
