Lionel Messi failed to give Paris Saint-Germain any surprises as the Ligue 1 team's strong attacking trio lacked inspiration in their disappointing 1-1 draw at Club Brugge in their Champions League opening match on Wednesday.

His first start for the French team, the Argentine forward did the woodwork but otherwise far from his great best were frustrated with Neymar and Killian Mbappe, who replaced Ander Herrera for the PSG opener in the first half before being injured after the break. .

Brass, who equalized before half-time through Hans Vanaken, was more aggressive and had the best chance of lacking quality and defensive focus against the PSG team.

The Premier League champions beat Leipzig-3-. The result after the goal loss left PSG and Brugge leaders two points behind Manchester City.
