Have you ever heard of that ‘butterfly effect’? A tiny flap of a butterfly’s wings might ultimately cause a tornado, they say.Although it may sound a bit awkward, the examples of this phenomenon can be seen almost every day, in nearly every aspect of life. Football included.Still don’t understand what we are talking about?Parisian stars feel the wrath of their fans despite scoring three past lowly GirondinsThen, just have a look at what PSG supporters caused with their booing of Leo Messi in Sunday’s Ligue 1 fixture at Parc des Princes. The home fans went berserk following that dreadful Champions League exit to such an extent that they booed Messi and his fellow colleague Neymar every time they would get a hold of a ball. Such a shameful display of pettiness caused an unprecedented tornado, but not in Paris nor France nor Europe, but on the other part of the globe – in Argentina.Time to leave the circus and join the carnival 🎡We’re waiting for you in the Parque, Leo 🌴(bring Ney too – he LOVES carnivals) https://t.co/mY8Rlblnf1— Newell’s Old Boys – English (@Newells_en) March 13, 2022 Newells Old Boys, Messi’s boyhood club from the town of Rosario, went public to ask their hero to return amid those hostile developments in the French capital.It’s not the first time their thoughts go hand in hand with a desire/illusion of Messi’s return. In August 2021, they succumbed to despair as Leo decided to neglect their call for a nostalgic comeback and moved to the City of Lights.That’s real life, though. Messi concluded he’s still capable of reaching the very heights of Champions League and world football, and the PSG dream team seemed just like the perfect surroundings for him. However, with hindsight, it turned out to be his quicksand, suffocating the tiny magician as time went by.How do you breathe life into a team that feels like a cemetery?His reception indeed was rapturous, but it was fading slowly as Mauricio Pochettino’s side couldn’t provide him with that pivotal role he was used to at Barcelona.Finally, that Benzema-directed purgatory at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Messi’s dreadful performance, dismantled that last parts of support for Leo. And that’s the moment the old, almost forgotten reflex revived among the Newell’s fanbase. Even the club itself reacted in a charming, witty manner via social media, calling Messi to close the circle. And even bring Neymar with him.Last time the Newell’s fans demanded for Messi’s return in July 2021 (©AFP)What’s it gonna be? Probably not much, as he’s got a two-year multi-million worth contract with the Paris outfit, which leaves no space nor place for good old fool called innocent love.That first kiss is something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives, but the money is what keeps the planet spinning.MON: 23.00: (6.75) MALLORCA (4.20) REAL MADRID (1.50)If Leo, however, decides to sail off and abandon the glittering Paris for the outskirts of Rosario – where it all started decades ago – there’s a possible chance we’ll have a tornado. The tornado of joy and passion at the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa. What a match-up it would be.
