What would have been Lionel Messi’s last game with the Barcelona shirt for the Champions League at Camp Nou, shining at the stadium this Tuesday (16), was Kylen Mbappe. The Frenchman won three times in the first leg of PSG’s first knockout round in a 4–1 win.

Barcelona need to win by a four-goal margin in the duel in Paris on 10 March, not to say goodbye to the competition in the knockout stage.

In that historic turn, Barcelona had two goals from Neymar, who now wears PSG’s shirt. However, Brazil was not on the pitch this Tuesday as he is recovering from a thigh injury.
In the absence of Shirt 10, PSG’s aggressive actions centered on Mbappe’s feet. Even though Messi opened the scoring in the 27th minute of the opening leg, converting a penalty by Di Jong, the Parisian team had more chances to score in the first leg.
Before the break, he scored for the first time in the 32nd minute, when Marquinhos launched for Varetti and he crossed for Mbappe to clear Langlet’s mark and finished on top with his left foot.
The final leg took a turn when Florenzi took a cross from the right, Piki was badly cut and the ball was again left for shirt 7, to end the first 20 minutes.
Messi marked well and managed to spend more time with PSG possession, often returning to midfield to get the ball. And it did not take long to expand, at the age of 24, this time with Moeri Keane, the head, following the cross of Verretti.
