Fans await Lionel Messi debut at PSG as Ligue 1 season marches on after big-ticket signing

All eyes will be on PSG's Ligue 1 encounter against Strasbourg on August 14 as Lionel Messi will be unveiled to a 50,000-strong crowd at the home stadium. It remains to be seen if the Argentina star will make his debut for his new club.

Lionel Messi hit the training grounds at his new club Paris Saint-Germain earlier this week but it remains to be seen when he will make his debut for the Ligue 1 club. The negotiations for his much-talked-about move did not take long but there might be a bit of wait for his debut. Lionel Messi had just returned from vacation when Barcelona announced it couldn't afford to keep him, opening the door for PSG. Messi is now under contract for at least two seasons in the French capital.
