Pep Guardiola says he does not know how to stop the deadly attacking trident of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar as he prepares for Tuesday’s blockbuster Champions League clash at PSG. The match is a repeat of last season’s semi-final, which City won 4-1 on aggregate to reach their first Champions League final, which they lost to Chelsea.
Messi completed a free transfer from Barcelona to PSG in August, with the French club uniting the Argentine, Brazilian star Neymar and French World Cup winner Mbappe up front. “With this amount of quality, I don’t know what we should do to stop them—they are so good,” the City boss said. “This amount of talent, all together to be controlled, is so difficult. You have to defend well when we don’t have the ball, but it’s difficult. They are exceptional players, everybody knows it.”
