Guardiola hopes PSG star Messi faces Manchester City 'for the benefit of the game'

Argentine great had missed club's last two games due to knee injury

Pep Guardiola has been known to call Lionel Messi the finest footballer ever and the best he has seen. As he prepared for a reunion, he was less effusive about his protege. Guardiola’s words were that Messi’s football has done the talking over the course of an extraordinary footballing life.

“We were fortunate to see him during these 16 years,” Guardiola said. “Messi speaks for himself. We don’t have to describe him. What he has done in his career is more than exceptional.”

Those achievements include six Ballons d’Or, four Champions Leagues and 10 La Liga titles while scoring 672 goals for Barcelona. There is the chance that a first for Paris Saint-Germain will come at the expense of a mentor: Messi has missed PSG’s last two matches with a minor knee injury but is back in training and Guardiola said: “Hopefully he can play for the benefit of the game.”

It is nine years since they parted company but they remain indelibly associated. Each facilitated the other’s rise to greatness. Guardiola took over at Barcelona in 2008 and exiled Ronaldinho to build a team around the Argentinian. In four seasons, they won the Champions League twice and he scored 211 goals.

Guardiola had long said he thought Messi would finish his career at Camp Nou. There may be something incongruous in the sight of him in a PSG shirt on Tuesday. “For a long time, you could not imagine it,” the City manager said. “It was a little bit of a surprise for everyone but what happened, happened and now everyone has accepted it.”

PSG player ratings v Club Brugge

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN PLAYER RATINGS: Keylor Navas, 7 - Arguably the reason his side got anything at all against an opponent they were expected to breeze past. Had no chance of stopping the equaliser, but he got down smartly to keep out Hans Vakanen’s low free-kick and deny the Club Brugge skipper his second, before producing a fabulous one-handed save to scoop away Charles De Ketelaere‘s effort.

Achraf Hakimi, 5 - Produced an important flick-on at the back post to preserve his side’s lead and thwart Vanaken who was lining up the spectacular, but he allowed Eduard Sobol to get in behind him and he squared for Vanaken to thunder home. A slightly nervous display from the PSG full-back. AFP

Marquinhos, 6 - A much busier evening than he would have expected, and the 27-year-old was mightily fortunate to see a low cross evade Vanaken at the far post after nicking off the centre-back. Superbly denied the hosts the perfect start to the second half with a stunning block to thwart Jack Hendry. EPA

Presnel Kimpembe, 6 - Showed strength to pin the Belgian side inside their own half as they looked for an escape on the counter, but he could only stick a leg out in front of Vanaken’s piledriver that cannoned off his leg and flew past Navas. Repelled a dangerous low-cross away to safety with two Brugge players waiting to pounce. AFP

Abdou Diallo, 5 - A difficult night for the left-back who was put under constant pressure by the hosts’ press. Not quite given the torrid time that Hakimi was as Club Brugge opted to build down the left, but a difficult night nonetheless. Replaced by Nuno Mendes for the final 15 minutes. AFP

Georginio Wijnaldum, 4 - The visitors were guilty of overplaying at times as their passing featured plenty of flicks but a lack of fluidity and Wijnaldum captured that perfectly when he opted to try and flick the ball over his head deep in PSG territory which allowed Club Brugge to easily nick the ball back. The former Liverpool favourite struggled to grab the game by the scruff of the neck in an uninspired display and was hauled off at half-time. AFP

Leandro Paredes, 4 - Certainly in the thick of things in the opening 10 minutes and was nearly the architect of disaster when he allowed a simple pass from Kimpembe to roll under his studs before desperately clattering into De Ketelaere at the expense of a yellow card.

Messi completes a star-studded front three in the French capital, linking up again with Neymar and joining Kylian Mbappe. Guardiola believes the two best sides he has faced as a manager are Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Luis Enrique’s Barcelona, when Messi was accompanied in attack by Luis Suarez and Neymar. “Both teams had exceptional players and good organisation,” Guardiola said.

If part of the challenge for PSG is to forge a similarly formidable unit and produce a team more than the sum of its remarkable parts, Guardiola said: “They are exceptional players. All of them are so good individually and they can combine and connect with each other. With this amount of quality I don’t know what we should do to stop them, to control this amount of talent is so difficult.”

Yet City only conceded once in 180 minutes of last season’s semi-final against PSG, albeit minus Messi, and head to France on the back of five consecutive Premier League clean sheets.

They prevented the Champions League winners Chelsea from recording a shot on target in their victory on Saturday and Guardiola argued: “The most important thing is how many chances we concede. We have to be compact, help each other and know we are going to suffer and have pain. Everyone puts their heart and spirit in for each other. That’s why we can defend well.”

An ability to “suffer for 90 minutes”, in Guardiola’s words, has underpinned City’s best results in the last year. He admitted that PSG were the better side in the opening period of the semi-final in Paris.

Resilience helped them stay in the game before Kevin de Bruyne inspired a second-half comeback. City will be without another talismanic midfielder for the rematch, with Ilkay Gundogan missing plus Sunday’s trip to Liverpool. But if their players lack Messi’s profile, they know they have match-winners. Riyad Mahrez, who was born in Paris, scored three semi-final goals against PSG. He reflected: “A good day for the team first and me as well.”

Some of Darwish's last words

"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008

His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.

Chef Nobu's advice for eating sushi

“One mistake people always make is adding extra wasabi. There is no need for this, because it should already be there between the rice and the fish.
“When eating nigiri, you must dip the fish – not the rice – in soy sauce, otherwise the rice will collapse. Also, don’t use too much soy sauce or it will make you thirsty. For sushi rolls, dip a little of the rice-covered roll lightly in soy sauce and eat in one bite.
“Chopsticks are acceptable, but really, I recommend using your fingers for sushi. Do use chopsticks for sashimi, though.
“The ginger should be eaten separately as a palette cleanser and used to clear the mouth when switching between different pieces of fish.”

The burning issue

The internal combustion engine is facing a watershed moment – major manufacturer Volvo is to stop producing petroleum-powered vehicles by 2021 and countries in Europe, including the UK, have vowed to ban their sale before 2040.
