Finally! Lionel Messi (34) has scored his first goal for PSG. He scores beautifully against ManCity to make it 2-0. Everyone cheers, but also talks about another scene …

Ex-soccer player Rio Ferdinand (42), meanwhile TV expert at “BT Sport”, could hardly believe what he saw: “You can’t do that with Messi, that’s disrespectful. If I were a player on this team, I would have said, ‘No, not you. I’ll lie down for you. ‘”
But Messi was obviously not too good for the dirty work, did an exemplary defensive work far away from this scene and was rewarded with his first goal in the jersey of the French after the break (74th).
Meanwhile, Owen Hargreaves (40) agreed with Ferdinand. “I couldn’t believe it,” said the former Bayern star with a horrified face. “He’s one of the greatest of all time.”
