How Paris St Germain can line up with Lionel Messi?

Paris St Germain and Pochettino has an abundant squad depth at their disposal that can cause the headache for the gaffer. However, considering how Lionel Messi was able to play with Neymar and Suarez in the past, we are able to come to a conclusion. Here is how PSG can line up with Lionel Messi.

The new signing of PSG, Gianluigi Donnarumma will start in between the sticks whereas the trio of Kimpembe, Sergio Ramos and Marquinhos will shield the goalposts as the three central defenders. Pochettino might opt to field wingbacks as he has two quality wingbacks at his dosposal. Achraf Hakimi on the right flank and Diallo on the left flank will always a cause of concern for the opposition. It is not only because of their defensive abilities but also due to the attacking abilities. Achraf Hakimi caught the heavyweights’ attention with his quality crosses.

In the midfield, the club has lot of options. Mauricio Pochettino has to be extremely careful while fielding the players. If Gini Wijnaldum plays, he should be alongside Marco Veratti or Idrissa Gueye who can put a shift in the midfield. Or else, Ander Herrera can be preferred by the gaffer.

Coming to the attack, it will be a nightmare not only for the Ligue 1 clubs but also to those clubs facing PSG in Champions League. We expect former Tottenham Hotspur manager to field Neymar on the left flank, Mbappe on the right with Lionel Messi taking the centre stage.
