Messi makes his debut for Saint-Germain against Reims today

Argentinian coach Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that his compatriot Lionel Messi can make his first appearance in the team's shirt, during the confrontation against Reims today, Sunday, in the French League.

Messi joined Saint-Germain earlier this month on a free transfer, after the expiration of his contract with Barcelona.

Messi did not participate in the last match against Brest, despite his appearance in the team's training, and the Brazilian star Neymar was also absent from that confrontation.

"A player like him will certainly play a pivotal role in the French league, regardless of the different characteristics of the French league compared to the English and Spanish leagues, because we are talking about one of the best players in the world, if not the best," Pochettino said.
