Summary
“Listen,” says Messi then, his voice low but igniting an instant silence in the tense dressing room. “I don’t know what kind of sick joke this is. I don’t know whose idea it was to put makeup on you—” He must mean Neymar. “—and fly in Ramos and—” His eyes move in Kylian and Achraf’s direction. “—whoever they are to fuck with me, but this is too much. You’ve hand your fun. Call it off now Ney."
Or the one where 28-year-old Leo, fresh off his third UCL with Barca falls asleep in Barcelona and wakes up seven years later, soaking wet in the showers of PSG’s training facility.

Summary
“I’m not playing around. The game’s over. We lost.”
“Top-tier mentality, cabrito,” Sergio drawls, dripping sarcasm. He shoves Leo’s shoulder
as if it’ll get him to come back to his senses. “I sure wish you’d rolled over this easy when we were playing clasicos. What in the hell are you saying?!”“I’m saying—”
But the clock above the tunnel exit says 20:59, the chants outside sound hopeful instead of putrid, and no one else shows any sign of having played the game. His heart sinks. Somehow, he got hit so hard he’s been sent back in time. He’s got to play this cursed game again.
OR: the one where Leo gets stuck in a time loop of PSG vs Bayern

Summary
Galtier damn near had a stroke when he’d shown up with Neymar and Presnel at his back to Sergio trying to stop an obviously younger Leo from having a panic attack. 2010 Messi had a puking problem — it wasn’t pleasant. Neymar’s shitty French had not done a good job of explaining the situation to their coach, who, as always, offered little in regard to solutions.
Fact of the matter? No one could explain this.
All they knew was — they played City, best team in the world Champion’s League prime favorites City, tomorrow, and whether the guy had to be dragged onto the pitch for it, they were not playing that game without him.
OR: the one where 2023 Messi is replaced by 2010 Messi while PSG are on a flight to play Manchester City

Summary
“We literally celebrated your 30th birthday last month.” Leo told this strange, wrinkled version of Xavi. Geri, among others, had gotten very drunk and Carles had made sure to remind them how much he’d regretted the decision to attend everyday in training for two weeks straight.
“That was thirteen years ago.”
Leo swallowed. All of a sudden, his throat was dry. “That would make me thirty-five.”
“Thirty-six.”
He caught a glimpse of himself in one of the dressing room mirrors. His hair was a tousled mess (he’d not bothered to style it) but other than that he looked normal.
“I’m not thirty-six.”
“You aren’t,” Xavi croaked unhelpfully.
OR: the one where 09/10 Messi lands in Barcelona just in time for the preseason el clasico

Summary
Wasn’t it enough that Tito had given them bleak news regarding his prognosis, his hamstring had been nagging him, and he hadn’t gotten a full night of sleep since Thiago decided to discover he could use his vocal cords to screech? How hard had Leo hit his head that he was playing a completely different match for a completely different team?
OR the one where 12/13 Messi is dropped bang in the middle of one of PSG's end-of-season league games and is not in the mood to get booed.
