When their best player had to suffer substitution, they trailed 1-0 in the match. But goals from Marquinhos and Angel Di Maria eventually handed them all three points in the second half.
On Sunday, Messi did not train with the rest of the team, instead of working with a physiotherapist.
And Mauricio Pochettino is allegedly hesitant to risk the striker against Leipzig, especially given PSG’s excellent position in Group A.
