Messi restricted in PSG draw as Man City, Liverpool win thrillersLionel Messi and PSG were held in check by Club Brugge. PARIS: Lionel Messi made his first Paris Saint-Germain start in a 1-1 draw at Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday, while last season's runners-up Manchester City and Liverpool won high-scoring thrillers. "We need time for them to get to know each other," PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino said of his all-star attack. I'm happy with how Messi played, his desire and his attitude, and the way he's adjusting." Steven Berghuis added the other goal for the four-time European champions with Paulinho grabbing a consolation for the hosts.
