Michael Owen claims Paris saint Germain's team is weaker now Lional Messi has joined the club after the Argentine failed to score on his first start for the French side.
Messi started PSG's opening Champions League group game against Club Bruges on Wednesday night in a front three with Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, but none of the club's all-star forwards were able to find the net in a disappointing 1-1 draw.
The front three, named 'MNM' by the French media in recent weeks, is one of the most exciting combinations in world football but former Liverpool and England striker Owen claims it is not enough to make PSG favourites to win the Champions League.
This was an absolutely blunder statement. It is true that Messi failed to score in the first Champions League game.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it could be just because of the fact that Messi and even Neymar wasn't even in the training grounds for several days before the match.
The game was a tight one, that both the clubs had their maximum into it.
What I think is that, it seemed all the dots were not connecting as it should have been.
Moreover Messi has gifted many opportunities for scoring. Even one of his shot was a woodwork.
And it is basic fact you can't judge a team based on their performance in a single match. Let's just wait and see for the coming matches.
