Pochettino has decided to let Lionel Messi start against his former manager Guardiola.
Lionel Messi
has been included in
Paris Saint-Germain’sstarting lineup alongside
Neymar
and
Mbappe
, and the Argentinian superstar is going to play against his former boss
Pep Guardiola
which can’t be good news for the Citizens.
boss has admitted that he doesn’t have any specific plans to defend against the remarkable trio and insists that they won't be able to stand against this amount of quality easily.
"I don't know, with this amount of quality I don't know what we should do to stop them,"
he said
.
"The talent cannot be stopped – we have to do it as a team. Individually we cannot put the pressure on one player to solve the skills and talents they have.
"We have to be compact, together and help each other, know we are going to suffer and be in pain, and how you handle the pain in these moments…you have to be able to suffer for 90 minutes."
Despite the impact of the news about him, it has to be said that the Argentina international has missed his side’s last two clashes because of a knee injury, and he might be away from his best form, although the mental effect of his presence can’t be forgotten. So we have to see if the former Barcelona star can help his side against the Premier League champions or not.
