PSG held in opener by Club Brugge.

Messi Neymar and Mbappe forming one of the most feared front threes , Club Brugge would have feared to have their hands filled on the night.

PSG controlled proceedings but hardly played through the press by Club Brugge who were incredibly disciplined and Created some good chances.

However a classic Mbappe turn gave him space to slot the ball in the path of Ander Hererra who gave PSG the lead.

It would have been an understatement to write Club Brugge of as their captain Vanaken quickly had them level following some good passage of play.

Messi could have put his side one up but saw his long range effort hit the upright of the post which pretty summed up a disappointing first half by PSG as Club Brugge proved to be the more creative and threatening side .

The second half rather began in disappointing fashion as Kylian Mbappe came off injured to be replaced by Icardi.

The high press by PSG saw them create difficulties for Club Brugge who failed to settle back into their rhythm as PSG had more attempts and sadly failed to convert any .

The likes of Lang continued poking the new galacticos of football who with all their talent failed to break through Club Brugge.

Messi however has to wait longer for his first goal as Club Brugge managed to play out a 1:1 draw with Paris Saint Germain

Club Brugge 1 : 1 PSG
