Lionel Messi is not in playable condition after recently starting training with his new club, Paris Saint-Germain.

He was not in the match squad for the home match against Strasbourg.

However, he was present at the arena.

Lionel Messi was introduced to the home supporters along with the club's four other spectacular signings: Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi and Georginio Wijnaldum.

- I hope that together we can enjoy this year and make it a fantastic year for us.

I am very much looking forward to everything, Messi said before kick-off according to Reuters.

Messi was also not the only key player missing on the pitch.

Ramos, Donnarumma and the big star Neymar all shone with their absence.

But if any PSG supporter was worried that it would affect the game, it was not noticed initially.

Mauro Icardi made it 1-0 after just three minutes and Kylian Mbappé and Julian Draxler made it 3-0 at the break.

Strasbourg, however, approached with two goals in the second half.

But a red card on Aleksander Djiku in the 81st minute spoiled the evening for the away team and Pablo Sarabia was then able to put the nail in the coffin when he made it 4-2.

Thus, the big favorite PSG has started the French league game with two straight victories.
