Messi is welcome when playing on the field of Juventus.

In the 13th minute, he had a favorable pass for Kylian Mbappe to open the scoring. In addition, he also made 3 passes to create opportunities for teammates. Sofascore scored Messi 7 points, the third highest in the PSG squad (below Mbappe and Marquinhos).
This is not the first time Messi has been praised by rival fans. In Ligue 1, he was once applauded by Toulouse and Clermont Foot fans after impressive performances.
Messi and his teammates finished the 2022/23 Champions League group stage with second place. They have the same 14 points as Benfica but are behind due to less away goals (6 vs 9).
