Former Bayern Munich captain Philip Lahm recently reacted to PSG and Lionel Messi’s performance in the Champions League. Bayern Munich knocked PSG out of the Champions League round of 16.

Speaking about PSG’s style of play and form, Lahm stated: “Messi’s skills are used without purpose or direction(at PSG). The individuals do not know how to collectively score a goal and generally, how to contribute.” He then went on to compare the France based outfit to a luxury department store: “This exorbitantly expensive team resemble a luxury department store. Displaying precious exhibits that everyone marvels at, but no one can afford.”
