UEFA Champions League: Time for Lionel Messi to step up for PSG against Real Madrid
Zee News
Lionel Messi's Paris Saint-Germain will face Real Madrid in the Uefa Champions League round of 16 on Febraury 16.
Following its repeated failures to win Europe's most coveted trophy, Paris Saint-Germain perfectly knows that adding up individual talents is not enough to make a team successful on the biggest stage. Since its wealthy Qatari owners took control of the French side more than 10 years ago, PSG has grown into a global brand with strong commercial revenues.
Year after year its roster has become more and more formidable, with the addition of superstars like David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. And year after year the title it craves so much, the Champions League, has remained unreachable despite coming close in 2020 with a runner-up finish.
