Leo Messi opened his tally with a perfect strike into the back of the net (2-0, 74′). A goal that sent the stadium into a frenzy!
PSG started their dream attack of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe, but it was unheralded midfielder Idrissa Gueye who opened the scoring in the eighth minute.
Idrissa Gueye’s first-half goal was ultimately the winner, but Messi opening his account was the obvious storyline from Tuesday’s win.
Leo Messi officially signed a contract in August for French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) after his 21 years long association with FC Barcelona.
Leo Messi spoke to PSGTV after Les Parisiens’ victory over Manchester City on Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League group stage (2-0).

“The more we play together the better it will become. We need to grow together and increase our level.”
The victory moves PSG into first place in Group A with a 1-1-0 record, while Manchester City are in third at 1-0-1.
