Lionel Messi

PSG's Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino on Friday hailed superstar arrival Lionel Messi as an incredible talent who will lift his team to new heights this season. "I see him as happy with incredible energy," Pochettino said after overseeing training at the club's Saint-Germain-en-Laye base west of Paris.

Messi, 34, met his teammates on Thursday, two days after arriving in France on ending his 21-year-association with Barcelona. Pochettino said that to see Messi begin a new chapter at PSG was to have the same sensation as the whole squad and the fans enthusiasm and positive energy.
