On the eve of facing PSG with AS Monaco, Aurélien Tchouameni commented on the presence of Lionel Messi in Mauricio Pochettino's squad.
While his contract with FC Barcelona had expired, Lionel Messi is committed to PSG during the last summer transfer window, unable to extend at the Blaugrana because of the economic problems of the club culé. Since then, the Argentinian has tried to acclimatize to Ligue 1, not without difficulty as he only found his way to the net once in the Championship. Despite this difficult adaptation, Lionel Messi arouses great excitement in France. This Sunday, the AS Monaco moves to the lawn of the Parc des Princes to face the PSG , and Aurélien Tchouameni does not hide his joy at the idea of facing Lionel Messi .
“We can tell our children later that we played against Messi ”
“ We have seen Lionel Messi playing since we were very young, so it's nice to play against him, because we can say more late to our kids that we did. After on the field, honestly that does not change anything. Whether it is Lionel Messi or another player, it will be necessary to be in the duel. We must not be overcome by the emotion of playing against such a player, “explained Tchouameni at a press conference.
