Watch Lionel Messi leave PSG team-mates for dead as Pochettino sets up ‘most unfair mini game team of all time’
LIONEL MESSI was filmed leaving his Paris Saint-Germain team-mates for dead in a training match dubbed the ‘most unfair of all time’.
The legendary forward took part in only his fourth session on Tuesday following a stunning free transfer from Barcelona.
But despite his heartbreaking exit, which followed a victorious Copa America campaign with Argentina, Messi looked to be in tip-top action on the training field.
Mauricio Pochettino divided his PSG squad into teams of six for a mini-match.
And Messi found himself teaming up in a superstar side with goalkeeper Keylor Navas, midfielder Julian Draxler, winger Angel Di Maria, playmaker Neymar and striker Kylian Mbappe.
The formidable team unsurprisingly won the training game.
And Messi was seen showing off his usual silky dribbles, footwork and finishing in footage posted on PSG’s Twitter page.
However, French fans will have to wait until the end of the month to see Messi in action.
