The PSG best players to watch vs Gamba Osaka

Lionel Messi 

Pleasing and sound, Lionel Messi is back with the goal-scoring energy once after much criticism in the first season with the French club. Messi opened the scoring in the 32nd minute against Kawasaki Frontale.

Apart from the goal against Frontale, Messi has been very effective, and head coach Christophe Galtier would be delighted if the Argentine could continue with this pace. Although much more needs to be done, Messi would be crucial for Paris Saint-Germain’s success this season.

Mbappe 

Mbappe got his name on the score sheet in PSG’s 3-0 bashing of Urawa Reds. The young Frenchman extended the lead to two thirty-five minutes into the first half.

Mbappe settled his future with Paris Saint-Germain about a few weeks after the 2022/22 season ended, ending more than year-old speculation surrounding his future with top clubs like Real Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea mentioned as top destinations.

Mbappe is expected to power Paris Saint-Germain’s forward line alongside Neymar Jr and Lionel Messi.

Arnaud Kalimuendo-Muinga

Arnaud Kalimuendo-Muinga is one of few unknown names on the Paris Saint-Germain roster for the Japanese tour by coach Christophe Galtier.

Arnaud Kalimuendo-Muinga is a 20-year-old French international who plays as an attacker. He scored two goals already in the preseason for PSG. Although his chances of regularly starting in the new season remain unknown, his consistency could cement his place in the first team.

Team Preview – PSG

The start of a new beginning at Paris Saint-Germain, the capital city club, has invested heavily in the transfer market in the past decade, accompanied by success in the domestic scene. However, the main objective at the continent level is yet to be achieved.

The results from the tour of Japan is expected to serve as a morale booster for the players and Christophe Galtier, who led Lille to a surprise league title in the 2020–21 season.

Team Preview – Gamba Osaka

Gamba Osaka are experiencing its worst form in the Japanese top flight. The club have lost in the last four games and are under pressure to change it against Paris Saint-Germain.
