Paris Saint-Germain are lopsided and are 'more vulnerable' with Lionel Messi in the side.

That is the questionable assessment of previous Liverpool and Manchester United striker Michael Owen, who was not intrigued with the Ligue 1 side's shape in a 1-1 draw against Club Brugge on Tuesday night.

PSG carry old man wey de 34 wey never play outside barca all im career , load for for team wey suppose de build with youngsters cos they are desperate to win CL... like say messi don win the CL in the last 6yrs... sometimes oyibo de mk stupid decisions... not like ligue1 de hard una... if they were serious...they wud hv gone for halaand or Lewandowski.. then drop neymar in the midfield to Play behind the attackers...

Messi at barca had every single player playing for him....this time around, baba de on im own...all man for himself

It's too early to say but you expect a newly built team to be this way.

Lol, problem of several English (esp ex-Man utd) pundits is that they are too quick to talk without deep reasoning. Shey Ronaldo did not make Man U weaker abi after being beaten by young boys, same team that Man Utd demolished previous season if we are to go by his logic?

Messi that was the most threatening of all the front three players yesterday even though I agree that PSG's performance was subpar as a whole. But I remember that this same Club Brugge beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu last season.

Experience should tell Owen that you can't assess the full impact of a new player after a single game. But he must sha do cho-cho-cho like his Man U counterpart Gary Neville. Only Ferdinand seems to be a reasonable pundit amongst those guys. No wonder Marca had to call them out.

Man u/ Ronaldo fan

lolz....this wan jus dey yarn dust, he thought messi wold fail at the end of the day lioe d wah e flopped in madrid..
messi is a new buy and PSG looked bad but would need alot of work to do before they can balance dt team..
I still dnt know why he is pending PSG problems on messi dt jus played a complete game bt d same owen is silent on cr7 failed mission to juve after 3 years..
we know wr its coming from n with time, messi would make him eat his words.....hypocrite

No lies I don't seeing messi spending 2 yes in France he go run

As for me, all I can say is that it's too early to judge...

na with time, dm go all eat their words..

He lost his British accent when ManUtd lost to Young boys.

I know this would happen, what did you expect when you sign a 34 years old that has pass his peak. Psg has played 6 matches this season of which they scored over3.5 goals except for the two matches messi played. Messi only join psg so he can catch up with ronaldos and dani alves records, assuming ronaldo has not won more champions league and dani alves has not won more trophies messi would not have been keen on leaving barcelona.

Verdict: PSG don't need messi but messi needs PSG.

Michael Owen go just open him stupid mouth the talk rubbish...
If to say PSG win and Messi score Hattrick, this fool no for come out come talk Nonsense...
Foolish Michael Owen...

When I de talk say u be mumu , e no get part 2... Ronaldo is a goal getter...

Initially, una say e no fit leave Barcelona, now una don change mouth say na because e wan catch Ronaldo & Alves. Don't you think Messi would not have agreed a new deal with Barcelona if that was the case??

PSG needed to sign proven champions with UCL experience and medal that's why they signed Messi & Ramos to add quality to what the team possesses......why you think say they rush am as soon as they deal with Barcelona broke down?

Verdict: Their marriage is mutually beneficial to both parties.

The problem with English pundits is that they're very emotional and irrational in their analysis. They remind me of a certain Femi .f.kayode' they just speak to suit the occasion.

Bro, Don't you think it is too early to call....messi has already made up his mind long ago that is why he run down his contract at barcelona. Let me ask you this question: do you think messi will have come back to negotiate his contract with barcelona if Argentina had not won the copa america?
Messi is so obsesed about winning the champions league and winning trophies than the so called barcelona loyalty his fans made us to believe.
Yes, we wanted him to try new waters but he should have left barcelona on a high citing new challenge. His actions speaks of a man who is jumping from a sinking ship.

What you make out of the whole drama or chose to believe is not even close to the truth. You getting something wrong here........Messi decision to leave Barcelona last year was simply because of Bartomeu, the then president of the club. Bartomeu blocked the move because he was already under fire and losing the club's best player would further dent his Barcelona's image. After due consideration, he made a U-turn because he didn't want legal tussle with the club. Shortly after his decision to honour his contract, the president resigned when vote of no confidence was passed on Bartomeu led board and election was brought forward. He deliberately delayed contract negotiations to see if the plans of the new leadership matches his ambition. His preferred candidate won and they had an agreement to discuss contract renewal at the end of the season. Barcelona and Messi reached agreement for a new deal during Copa America but made it officially shortly after the final against Brazil. The Copa America victory had absolutely nothing to do with Messi's Barcelona future. Yes, he's ambitious enough to want to win UCL and other trophies just like any player in his class and that does not in any way affect his loyalty. High citing note? Keep sentiment aside bro.........Any point agreeing a new deal, if his plan was to jump a sinking ship?? He made frantic effort to stay by taking 50% paycut or what would you have him do when Tebas blatantly refused to bend the rules to get him registered cos Barcelona and Madrid declined a loan deal that would have made funds available for Barcelona to register him but then mortgage the club for 50 years and also kill their super league dream??

You ended spewing trash

What did a peak messi do?? Do u know barca of 2008 to 2012 was the best team ( when it comes to game play) in the history of club football, that transcended to the Spanish national team winning back to back euros and the world cup being sandwiched in between.... the Spanish national team had its engine in Barcelona ( peak iniesta, xavi, busquet) these three players made people like pedro turn to zlatan ... they thrived for both club and Country... while messis Argentina kept in making excuses .... do u know if Ronaldo played in that team , he wud hv crossed a thousand goals by now ... again pep is an exquisite coach, he turns good to excellent...look at what he is doing at city.... let me tell u... messi needed super tools to achieve what he has achieved...Ronaldo only needed just slightly above tools ... the moment iniesta and xavi got caught up with age , Messi has only scored 7 times in the knock out of CL since iniesta and xavi left ...7 goals in 6 years compared to Ronaldo's over 40 goals in the same era of 6 years... u cant be using league to be claiming greatest... in Spanish league , its only atletico and real madrid to contend with ...the CL is all about the best of the best ...

I dont even understand how u guys argue.... its too clear....comparing Ronaldo and messi is like comparing Mercedes and BMW

Sometimes I wonder if it's the same football we are all watching, Leo is an all round footballer. He can play as a playmaker, striker, Winger. Can Ronaldo ever?
Even the goals you use in comparing both Leo has a better goal ratio. Check the facts

u are just saying rubbish!
if we go by ur logic then Ronaldo should have won UCL with juventus. Shebi he his a goal getter and everything!
Do u even know the meaning of tactic approach to football.
You said messi needs a credible number 10 to win european cups!
Ever since Ronaldo left kroos and modric, ronaldo has not even passed the UCL quarter final stage, meanwhile messi has reched the semi finals playing 8,9,10 for Barcelona.
Messi has won European golden boot since iniesta and Xavi left meanwhile ur talented Rinaldo hasn't won any since he left Madrid!
Who now needs incredible number 10 more between messsi and Ronaldo?

Is English ur problem....dont u know the meaning of stand a chance... Ronaldo gave juve the chance to win the CL in his first 2vseasins especially the first season , but they blew it... he was the only one scoring for goodness sake... he went to Ajax scored the opening goal and a vital away goal, but the defence blew the lead... the second leg in turin, he opened the scoring again...but they cudnt hold on to the lead and no other person try to scorecagain... he overturned a 2 goal deficite against the best defence in Europe in the earlier round.. only if juve were as serious as previous seasons... their next 2 games to become champions wud uv been spurs and Liverpool....and Ronaldo wud hv won them that cup... in Madrid, he was scoring and others were also scoring.... now look at juve in the league...a disaster...
If Ronaldo dint leave madrid , they wud hv won 6 straight CL by now

Ronaldo won the CL without Kroos and modric in Manchester ....y has modric and Kroos notvwon it since he left ?? Ronaldo dint score any less than 15 goals every single time he won it at Madrid...since he left , no one has scored more than 6

Those names you mentioned who comes close to Messi?. For the past few seasons Messi has been more of a playmaker than a striker yet he has a better goal ratio to Ronaldo.

Messi single handledly carried Argentina to the 2014 world cup final.

What you all don't understand is no one tree can make a forest.

If Ronaldo scores all the goals and Maguire and co are not ready to defend those goals then the team will suffer. E.g Losing to Young Boys what value was his goal to the team?

Every player has a role to play in a team and that's where Leo has been let down.

How has he been strictly a playmaker...dint u see their formations...even in Argentina...he plays upfront...messi doesn't play midfield... u messi fans are so deluded... what has messi won in the past 6 years...if he was as good as u guys claim, he wud hv won at least 3-4 champions league on the past 6 yrs ... he was a flop in the last world cup ...4 games only a goal against Nigeria... he has never in his career scored a former world champion weather in the world cup or copa ... 90% of messus goals are against mediocre teams

For your information I'm no Messi or Ronaldo fanboy I just enjoy good football when I see one.

As a Chelsea fan I always had more fear seeing my team face a Messi team than a Ronaldo. Dazall
