He knows how to manage himself" - PSG superstar Lionel Messi

Former France national team manager Raymond Domenech reckons Lionel Messi has to start for Paris Saint-Germain against Bayern Munich on Tuesday February 14.

He said that the Argentine should play through the pain barrier and get on the pitch.

PSG lost 3-1 to AS Monaco on Saturday February 11 and are now set for a tough test.

Domenech, though, reckons the club can cope without Mbappe for the time being, but Messi has to get back to help the team.

He said that PSG need him on the pitch and that Messi will be able to handle himself. Domenech told L’Equipe

There is no hesitation to have. We must try. If they don’t try, it’s useless because the PSG season is based on the European Cup.

They will be French champions with or without Messi, so that’s where everything will be decided for Paris.

It is necessary to prepare him to play, and it is only a small discomfort in the thigh. … He knows how to manage himself

he knows where he stands, the last test for his participation will be the day of the game, they will try some acceleration, and it should be fine.
