In one week\u2019s time, the clash of the titans is on as Barcelona will welcome Paris Saint-Germain to the Camp Nou for the first round of the Champions League knockout stages. the mind games have already begun.<\/p>\n
And with that said \u2013 the mind games have already begun.<\/p>\n
The Parisiens are using the fact that Lionel Messi is yet to decide his future to their advantage with SPORT reporting that their attempts to destabilise the team before the big clash are now intensifying.<\/p>\n
News has it from the French capital that France Football decided to dress Messi in the PSG colours for one of their covers, as can be seen in SPORT\u2019s report too. This is clearly a provocation aiming to get a reaction from the Catalan giants and potentially make them doubt Messi\u2019s loyalty.<\/p>\n
As it is, various players from the PSG locker room have already spoken publicly about luring the Argentine to Parc des Princes, which is something Ronald Koeman absolutely detests.<\/p>\n
Still, Messi himself seems to be calm and collected, as he usually is. He is yet to fully decide on his next move but has resolved to stay at Barcelona for the remainder of the season and give them his best.<\/p>\n
That, we can be sure won\u2019t change no matter what happens.<\/p>\n
The game against PSG is set to take place on 16 February at the Camp Nou.<\/p>\n
Get ready to strap yourself in, it\u2019s going to be a blast.<\/p>\n
