Paris Saint Germain (PSG) manager Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that summer signing Lionel Messi won't be available for the league game with Montpellier this weekend as he works his way back to full fitness after a bruised bone. Messi had suffered the injury in the slender 2-1 home win over Lyon thanks to the late goal from substitute Mauro Icardi.
Pochettino gave an update on the fitness of Messi for the Montpellier during his pre-match presser on Friday. The PSG boss would be hoping that his players can maintain their perfect start to the new league season when they take on Montpellier at home.


PSG made it seven wins from seven games in midweek courtesy the late goal from Moroccan international fullback Achraaf Hakimi off the assist from Neymar in the slim away win over Metz.

HOW NEYMAR PLAYED A PART IN RAMOS AND MESSI DEALS

Never would it have been thought of that French Ligue 1 heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain would eventually be able to sign Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos but as a matter of fact, the club signed the two players in the same transfer window and the most shocking part of the two deals is that the two superstars were significantly signed for free. That, of course, goes on to further prove the saying that anything can happen in football. Another ironic fact about the two transfers is that both players were the captains of Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona; two of the biggest clubs in the world and of course, fierce rivals as well.

NEYMAR NAMED BEST PLAYER BY REYNA

Borussia Dortmund attacking player Giovanni Reyna is one of the best young prospects in the German Bundesliga. The American international has already established himself as a first team player at Dortmund. In a bid to underline his growing status in the first team at Borussia Dortmund, Reyna was given the number seven jersey vacated by England international Jadon Sancho following his return to English football.

Reyna will wear the number seven shirt at Dortmund in the new season after Sancho returned to the Premier League to sign for Manchester United in a £72.9m deal earlier this month.

NEYMAR SETS PERSONAL EUROPEAN RECORD

Brazilian superstar Neymar produced his worst season in European football after the French Ligue 1 ended at the weekend. The Paris Saint Germain (PSG) attacker was left in state of disappointment as his team lost out to champions Lille on the final day of the season by virtue of a solitary point.

Ahead of the final day of the season in the French Ligue 1, Lille and PSG were separated by one point and that was how the season ended after the two teams claimed respective victories on the last day of the season. Lille defeated hosts Angers 2-1 to secure a first league title in almost a decade thereby rendering the PSG result inconsequential. In their game on the final day of the season on Sunday, Neymar missed a spot kick as PSG beat hosts Brest 2-0.
