A new era in Paris will begin on Sunday with Lionel Messi in the team for Paris Saint-Germain ahead of what's expected to be his long-awaited debut. But another era may be ending with Kylian Mbappé, despite his being named in the starting lineup, still linked heavily with a blockbuster move to Real Madrid.
Hanging over Sunday's match against Reims is the fact that it could very well be the first and only time the two generational talents play on the same team.
Messi will start on the bench but is widely expected to feature for Mauricio Pochettino's side in what will be his first game for a club other than Barcelona since 2000, when he played as an academy player for his hometown side Newell's Old Boys.
