The day is upon us where Lionel Messi will take to a soccer field for a domestic match wearing a jersey that is not Barcelona's and in a country that is not Spain with the Argentina international set to debut with Paris Saint-Germain against Stade de Reims this Sunday.
The French giants have confirmed that Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are all in Mauricio Pochettino's squad for the clash at Stade Auguste Delaune and now the only question which remains to be answered is whether the Argentine tactician can resist the temptation to start all three.
Messi's potential debut is not the only major talking point coming into this one as there is also the question of Mbappe's future with Real Madrid pushing hard to secure him in a big money move before this summer's transfer window closes.
As if that was not enough, Neymar is also in line for his first minutes of the 2021-22 season having not featured in any of PSG's wins over ESTAC Troyes, RC Strasbourg Alsace and Stade Brestois 29 with his last involvement the Copa America final which saw Messi's Argentina beat Brazil.
