Lionel Messi looks set to start against Club Brugge for his new club, Paris Saint-Germain.

Messi is regarded as one of the best players to have played the game. The Argentine superstar moved to Paris Saint-Germain under controversial circumstances this summer after his contract with Barcelona expired.

Messi has so far made just one substitute appearance for Paris Saint-Germain. The 34-year-old is arguably still the best player in world football. His arrival makes Paris Saint-Germain favourites to win the Champions League.

Kylian Mbappe was extremely close to leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer as Real Madrid persistently pursued him.

Mbappe looks likely to leave Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer next summer, once his contract expires. Real Madrid fans are eagerly looking forward to his arrival, with the France international keen to join the Spanish giants.

The 22-year-old is a genuine superstar of the game. One of the best players in the world, Mbappe has been scintillaing for club and country. The forward has started the season extremely well for Paris Saint-Germain despite the rumours.

Ever since Lionel Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain, fans have been excited to see Messi, Neymar and Mbappe play together.

The trio are among the best players in the world. Neymar is one of the most recognizable athletes around. The Brazil international has been a talismanic presence for both club and country for some time, and his quality has never been in question.

Arguably the one player who can match Messi's natural ability, Neymar played an important role in ensuring his good friend joined the Parisien giants. The 29-year old looks set to start against Club Brugge.
