Lionel Messi’s Paris Saint Germain visits Benfica in Portugal, the team led by Nicolás Otamendi and Enzo Fernández, in the continuation of the third round of the Champions League.
The match corresponding to Group H will be played from 16:00 at the Luz stadium in Lisbon and will be broadcast on ESPN and Star +.
Messi, aged 35, scored a great free-kick in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Nice in Ligue 1 and will look to continue his streak 46 days after the World Cup in Qatar.
The captain of the Argentine national team has scored 7 goals in a row (in five games) if you count the doubles he scored with the Argentine national team against Honduras and Jamaica around the United States.
Tomorrow will be an important match for PSG who will visit Benfica, who also started the competition with an ideal score.
Nicolás Otamendi’s side – leader and captain – and Enzo Fernández are unbeaten this season, but ended their winning streak on Saturday with a goalless draw against away Vitoria Guimaraes.
Messi has faced Benfica twice and is one of the few teams against whom he has not yet scored a goal.
Both matches were in the 2012 Champions League with the Barcelona shirt: on 2 October the Catalan team won 2-0 with two assists from Rosario and in the return, on 5 December, it was a goalless draw at Camp Nou.
