PSG: Messi replaced, for the first time since 2014


Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus in Turin clashed on Tuesday night during the first day of the Champions League group stage.

The result was a 2-1 match for the locals who are starting their new European campaign in the best way. This was the first victory of the Parisians against Juve, according to the site Ouest-France.

While this meeting was special for PSG supporters, another event was highlighted after the game.

In the 84th minute of the game, Lionel Messi was replaced by his new teammate Carlos Soler who was making his first minutes in the French jersey, a week after his arrival from Valencia.

An unusually rare change since the seven-time Golden Ball was not replaced in the Champions League since 21 October 2014, with Barça facing Ajax Amsterdam (3-1 victory).

The Argentinean then went on to play 63 titles, playing all the matches with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

The long series of the Parisian number 30 ended last night.
