Paris St. Germain started the game on the front foot as it took them just 22 minutes to find the back of the net.

Lionel Messi was quite disappointed with the manager’s decision to take him off in the 81st minute when the team was searching for a winning goal. The talented attacker had a grim look on his face to show his disappointment.
I guess Lionel Messi was right to be disappointed after Galtier substituted him against Benfica because he was inarguably the best attacker on the pitch. It would have been a different case if he wasn’t having a good game.
