WHAT HAPPENED? Messi scored a brilliant goal in PSG's 1-1 Champions League draw at Benfica on Wednesday but was taken off after 81 minutes and headed straight for the dressing room. Manager Galtier explained after the game why the Argentina international was replaced by Pablo Sarabia and has played down fears the forward has suffered an injury.

WHAT THEY SAID: "He gestured saying he wanted to be substituted," he told https://twitter.com/RMCsport/status/1577775475572834304. On the last play, he felt tired. He came off because he was tired and a fresh team-mate was a lot more interesting at that moment."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Messi has been in superb form for PSG this season and was once again crucial against Benfica. The Argentina international scored his eighth goal of the campaign to preserve his team's unbeaten start to the season. Messi has started all of PSG's games so far in 2022-23 so it's little surprise to hear he is tired.
