Guardiola
Ahead of Manchester City’s Champions League meeting with Paris Saint-Germain, City boss Pep Guardiola says it’s so difficult trying to stop Lionel Messi, adding that he’s happy that the 34-year-old Argentine is still an active player.
Guardiola, who managed Messi at Barcelona, talked about trying to stop the Argentine forward and said: “It’s so difficult. Sometimes when he has the ball, you don’t know what to do – not even he knows.
“I am so happy he is still playing, at the level he plays and the quality.”
PSG beat City 2-0 at the Parc des Princes in September – a match in which Messi scored. But the group has since turned round with City now in top spot and needing only a point from their game on Wednesday to advance to the knockout stage.
A draw would also see both sides progress if Club Bruges fail to win at home to RB Leipzig.
