Many football fans were stunned as Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe took up a position on the floor behind Paris Saint-Germain’s wall to defend a free-kick during their 2-0 win over Man City.

The two great football stars showed that they don’t mind getting their kit dirty, that’s what great team players do.

But the night belonged to the Argentinian football star Messi who scored a sensational goal – his first for his new club – as Pep Guardiola’s men were beaten in their second group stage game.

Messi’s goal was of course the main talking point.

However, approaching full-time, fans and pundits picked up on the fact that Messi took up a position on the floor to prevent Man City from attempting a low shot with a late free kick.

Earlier in the match, Kylian Mbappe took up the same position, proving PSG’s superstars are not afraid to do their part defending for the team.
