Lionel Messi Makes PSG Debut But Gets Bullied By Marshal Munetsi!

The Argentine came on as a 66th-minute replacement for Neymar, and Munetsi was assigned to man-mark him.

Lionel Messi made his debut for Paris Saint-German against Stade de Reims on Sunday, but the superstar was on the receiving end of a couple of rough challenges from Marshall Munetsi.

However, the six-time Ballon d’Or winner was fouled three times, and it was the Zimbabwean midfielder who was the culprit during both the take-on and recoveries.

The Warriors star even hit him on the face in one incident, but luckily, he escaped without a booking. PSG went on to win the match 2-0 courtesy of Kylian Mbappe’s brace, while Munetsi had a goal disallowed following VAR intervention.

The midfielder mopped in a rebound from a close range after Keylor Navas parried El Bilal Touré’s header onto his way just five minutes into the second half. But after a review, it was found the striker was offside on the initial attempt, invalidating Munetsi’s goal.

Marshall Munetsi vs PSG:

95% Passing accuracy
5/5 Long balls
7/13 ground duels won
4 tackles
3 interceptions
3 clearances

Had a goal disallowed, put in a good effort in midfield against a very good PSG midfield tonight. Impressive showing from him.
