Paris Saint Germain, With the presence of the world champion Lionel Messi but without Neymar, he will visit Montpellier from 5pm (Star+) with the obligation to return to victory following two dates in Ligue 1 in France.
Messi will play from the beginning in the team led by Christophe Galtier but Neymar was left out of the squad due to muscle fatigue. The other absentee is Italian Marco Verratti, who was sent off in Sunday’s 1-1 draw once morest Reims in the Parc des Princes.
After the game, controversy broke out in France since the offensive trident completed by Kylian Mbappé “It unbalances the team and exposes it defensively”, according to the opinion of the newspaper L’Equipe.
However, the coach assured in a press conference that “depriving himself” of one of the three forwards would be a “mistake”.
PSG needs to bounce back as they started 2023 with just one win in four games and the lead over guard Lens shrank from seven to three points. He also lost the two games he played as a visitor in the year.
