Messi played lacklusterly in his first start for PSG.

*Goal: Vanaken 27′ – Herrera 15′

Jan Breydel Stadium marked the first time Lionel Messi started for PSG, 35 days after joining the French team.

However, that atomic trio rarely had any connection in the face of the fierce pursuit of Club Brugge’s defenders.

Bruges 1-1 PSG

Before leaving the field, Mbappe left his mark with an assist.

PSG failed to develop its advantage.

In the 27th minute, the Belgian team also found an equalizer.

After Mbappe left the field injured, PSG’s attack was deadlocked.

PSG fans expect a lot from Messi, the second best scorer at the Champions League playground with 120 goals.

On a day when fans focused their attention on the MMN trio, the one who shone for PSG was… goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

In the second half, coach Pochettino brought Draxler and Danilo onto the field to refresh the PSG midfield.
