Lionel Messi made his debut with the French football club Paris Saint-Germain. The 34-year-old Argentinean came on for Brazilian Neymar in the 66th minute in the league game at Stade Reims on Sunday evening. For the six-time world footballer and four-time Champions League winner, PSG is only the second club in his professional career. Messi had previously only played for FC Barcelona, from where he moved to Paris on August 10 after 21 years.
At his debut, the exceptional player could not yet set any decisive accents. Nevertheless, the Champions League opponent from RB Leipzig came to a 2-0 (1-0) success and leads the table after four game days without losing points. Both goals were scored by star striker Kylian Mbappè, who was willing to emigrate and who was on the pitch like German international Thilo Kehrer. Julian Draxler came on in the 81st minute for Angel Di Maria.
