Messi makes PSG debut as Mbappe steals the showLionel Messi made his PSG debut as a second-half substitute in their win at Reims in Ligue 1 on SundayPARIS - Lionel Messi came on as a substitute to make his Paris Saint-Germain debut on Sunday but Kylian Mbappe stole the show by scoring both goals in a 2-0 win against Reims in Ligue 1. After that they will begin their Champions League campaign away to Club Brugge in Belgium. That amount is also equal to what PSG paid Monaco in 2017 to sign Mbappe, who was clearly eager to go out on a high if this was to be his final appearance for the club. They put up a good fight but the chances of any team in France stopping PSG -- even if Mbappe departs -- are slim. Neymar started, making his first appearance of the season, while Di Maria also played in an all-star attack in Mauricio Pochettino's side.
