PSG look to shackle Barca ‘genius’ Messi

Paris St Germain forward Lucas Moura has described Lionel Messi as a “genius” but knows the Argentina ace is not the only Barcelona player his side need to be concerned about when the two teams clash in the Parc de Princes in Paris tonight.

Messi earned himself another place in the record books on Saturday after scoring for the 19th successive Primera Division game during Barca’s 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo.

In doing so he became the first player to net against every other side in the Spanish top flight in consecutive matches, while taking his season tally in La Liga to 42. Brazil international Lucas admits he is a big admirer of his fellow South American but is keen to point out Barca are no one-man team.
