Lionel Messi's Champions League debut for PSG falls flat against Club Brugge
CNN
The much-hyped trio of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar failed to inspire Paris Saint-Germain to victory in its Champions League opener on Wednesday, with the French side being held to a 1-1 draw by Club Brugge.
Messi was playing the 150th Champions League game of his career -- and his first for PSG -- but the Ligue 1 side failed to click in what proved to be a tricky away game in Belgium.
With its electric attacking trio of stars, the Parisians were firm favorites going into the tie and took an expected lead through Ander Herrera after 15 minutes.
