With the Argentine joining the French giants, Goal tells you how to catch Messi in action from India…
Lionel Messi is expected to make his Paris Saint-Germain debut against Reims in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
The former Barcelona forward brought the curtain down on a glittering Camp Nou career in particularly wounded circumstances earlier this year following the club’s inabiility to re-sign him.
Now, the attacker, who has headlined an influx of major talents at Parc des Princes this summer, is fast approaching a maiden match in their colours.
Will Lionel Messi make his PSG debut in Reims?
PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino has not given away any hints whether or not Messi will start alongside Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in Reims on Sunday. “They have trained well and we will analyse, we have not yet given the group. They will surely be part of the group but we do not know yet if they will play from the start. We have to analyse and see if he (Messi) can be in the team, then we will communicate the group. It’s normal that there are doubts,” he said.
With possibilities of the 34-year-old featuring in some capacity against Reims, the Argentine manager has backed his compatriot to adapt to live in France.
“We don’t have high expectations at the beginning because he (Messi) has to discover and adapt to his new club, his new life and his teammates. Ligue 1 is more open with more space and physicality than La Liga. We have a team to keep possession of the ball. But we have the best player in the world. He is a great professional. Messi knows this type of game but he can bring himself to any type of situation.”
