Pep Guardiola admitted he does not know how to stop Paris Saint-Germain’s formidable forward line of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
Guardiola’s Manchester City side face the star-studded French outfit in their second Champions League Group A game at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
City memorably edged out PSG in a hard-fought two-legged semi-final last season, but their summer signing of six-time world player of the year Messi makes them a tougher prospect this time.
Guardiola said: “What should we do? I don’t know. With this amount of quality I don’t know how to stop them, honestly. They’re so good."
PSG certainly boast a superstar line-up, and with salaries to match. The financial numbers of the key squad players an be seen in the gallery above, in reverse order.
