Both PSG and Lionel Messi are hungry for the UEFA Champions League trophy. With the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar there to support him now, Messi will be determined to add another Champions League trophy to his already glittering career.
When asked about PSG winning Europe's premier competition, Messi underlined the difficulty of winning the competition even with an extremely strong team:
"It is not easy to win it. You can have the best team in the world and not win the Champions League. I was in a great team that didn't win the trophy. You have to have a strong united group to win the Champions League. Luck also helps! But as I said before, the best team does not always win it"
