All eyes will be on Messi, as the Argentine comes up against his former club in Atlanta.

The superstar has played a leading role in the club’s progression to this stage of the competition, but he could be helpless against a PSG side that boasts a wealth of international experience across the field.

For that reason, the French club appear to be the standout selection to reach the final eight.
