There was a gigantic cheer, you can feel that we've been here for a day or two now, Martin,
you can feel it in the city, the anticipation about tonight, and the crowd are certainly playing
their part already. And that was important defending in there for Paris Saint-Germain,
Bernardo Silva then losing out to Neymar. Here's Messi on the ball for the first time,
here's Neymar, quick feet of Mbappé, and now Karate, Lionel Messi.
I think there's a team that's full of talent that can actually show PSG how to press.
In there to pick up the pieces of Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappé out to Messi,
Hakimi's gone on the overlap to provide support, it's gone to Mbappé,
here's Hakimi, Kylian Mbappé promising, in goes the ball, Neymar missed it,
chance though for Idriss Ige who doesn't miss it. It's a dream start for Paris Saint-Germain,
it's not the biggest name in the team, but it's a big big goal for them,
and it's a man familiar to the Premier League, Idriss Ige, who opens the scoring tonight.
Well they just floated so many players. Kevin De Bruyne officially did really well,
experienced Italian, no Paris Saint-Germain players played in this. Another Pochettino
was desperate for Verratti to be fit. Yeah really quick feet and there's Messi.
Messi on to Hakimi and then Mbappé. Hakimi, he's getting down that right whenever possible.
Will be touched by Neymar, here's Verratti, Messi. Was that a heavy touch by Messi,
Marti? I think it was. It's just an easy trip across the coast, isn't it? Messi and Mbappé.
Offensively, which is one of them has to, here we go. Realises that he's not been
sent to stage, so there we go. Back there, the Paris Saint-Germain defenders might get themselves.
It's good work in there by Verratti again. Brilliant. I'm picking the pocket of De Bruyne
in there. Kylian Mbappé back to Lionel Messi, really good footing for that cross.
Go press them, they get, they beat the press, do you on the counter-attack.
Off by Herrera. Then from Bernardo Silva and how on earth did Manchester City not equalise?
Unbelievable. By Rodri. It's a nice ball inside by Neymar to Idriss Agyei and now Mbappé.
Messi's on the move on the other side. It's Herrera. It's interesting here whether Mbappé
is offside. It's played back and it's played over by Lionel Messi. Lionel Messi, even under
pressure, he can pick out a ball like that. Space now for Nuno Mendes. Neymar, shoots.
Wild there from Neymar but he hasn't had much joy. Great ball from Messi though to
deal with City, collectively defend together. Neymar able to hold off Walker and then drag the ball
skilfully away from Rodri. We'll find out here whether Mbappé has given the offside trap the
slip. He's got support here under Herrera, what a save. In actual fact it wasn't quite as good
a save as I initially thought it was from Ederson but it needed tipping overall. Neymar, Mbappé,
still Mbappé, pulls it through, just missed Marquinhos. Gamesmanship, it's the injury
with no rhythm. Neymar gets it to Messi, Kyle Walker all over him. Neymar to Idriss Agyei.
Little touch then to Kylian Mbappé. Nice feet got him away from Mahrez. Neymar, Mbappé,
and Diaz but not very far. So off we go in the second half. The first half did answer wanted to.
There's a bit of space for Neymar to turn. Now Messi exchanges passing. Kylian Mbappé
shaking the shoulders. Idriss Agyei to Messi. Neymar combining well with Mbappé.
Kyle Walker so quick and such a good defender so is Ferran Torres. Here's Mbappé, all pace and purpose.
Neymar. Unbelievable. Lovely bit of acceleration from Messi after the control. Verratti tried to
play it back to him. Just had a bit more success though at the start of the second half getting in
behind Paris Saint-Germain. They've got some defending to do now though. Kylian Mbappé.
It's a feeling for a handball there Kevin De Bruyne which the referee wasn't interested in.
Here's the counter-attack now. Neymar challenged by Rotary. No foul.
Players actually wanted them to carry on. Kyle Walker was saying to Jack Green it's carry on.
I don't think he agreed with De Bruyne's attempt to kick in. That's where the contact is. He makes
the ball there. Absolutely no contact on Neymar. Don't forget to join us tomorrow night Juventus
Chelsea 2 HD from 7. And now the counter-attack led by Neymar, Messi, Hakimi. Neymar can try and
take on Walker. He's in behind Manchester City and Kyle Walker. Neymar wants to take on Walker.
There's not a great deal of point taking him on to the outside. Spell this for Manchester City
until Cancelo takes an eye off it. And he has his pocket picked by Messi.
And there's to Neymar. Here's Kylian Mbappé. Neymar. Distance effort again from City. Here's Messi.
A little pitter-patter stride of Lionel Messi. It'll touch back to him. Oh and there's his first goal.
The shirt may well have changed. The finishing ability remains the same.
And the little Maestro makes it 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain with a goal they're remembering
this stadium forever. Absolutely stunning goal. Perfection, quality, the intention when he gets
the ball straight away. And rolling back the years there by the way with that bit of display of
football there. Absolutely stunning. His 121st goal in the Champions League.
He does enough now to pick his moments. Excellent skill by Mbappé.
Now no penalty. And Aldo gets it from Neymar. Just getting Pochettino to look now. Look, just nipping.
Pochettino would be really pleased with that. Question marks asked. He likes to press the ball.
We know that but they haven't really done that. They sat quite deep tonight. And it's now Messi.
Seven and a half minutes to go. Messi was caught there by Jesus.
Maybe just caught that right knee. Here is Messi on to Neymar. It'll touch from Mbappé.
Neymar pulls it back and when they quicken it like that they're going to slow down. It's nice
wasn't it? Again look he's just demonstrating there that he can put up with it. He's brought it with him
from Spain. Neymar did wonderfully well. There was no space. He beat everybody once and then went back
in again and he's won the free kick. With these tough away matches and there is the full-time
whistle. Paris Saint-Germain have laid down a Champions League marker. It's a big win in
group A and a message to the rest of the Europe that they've got their sights on the biggest
trophy in club football in Saint Petersburg in May. And it's a victory that's got the fingerprints
of Lionel Messi all over it. Idrissa Gueye in the first half with his first goal in the Champions
League. But the Parc des Princes was set alight in the second. Messi's run. Little flick from
Kylian Mbappé and a brilliant curling finish into the top corner. His 121st goal
in the Champions League and his first goal in the blue of Paris Saint-Germain. A goal they'll talk about.
