The Ligue 1 features a massive fixture between two of France's biggest teams this weekend as Lyon take on Christophe Galtier's impressive PSG side at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Lyon are currently in fifth place in the Ligue 1 standings and are yet to hit their stride in the competition. The home side slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Monaco last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in exceptional form so far this season. The reigning Ligue 1 champions eased past Maccabi Haifa by a 3-1 margin in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this weekend.

Maxence Caqueret and Corentin Tolisso have been impressive for Lyon this season but will have their work cut out for them against the likes of Marco Verratti and Lionel Messi. Karl Toko Ekambi found the back of the net last week and will lead the line alongside Alexandre Lacazette.
Julian Pollersbeck is currently injured and will not be able to feature in this game. Jerome Boateng has made progress with his recovery but is unlikely to hit full fitness this weekend.

MESSI THE GOAT OF FOOTBALL⚽⚽⚽⚽ Messi is equivalent to 6 players in the field. He competes for everything. Goals, assists, playmaking and controlling the tempo of the game. Name me another player who ever did the things Messi does on a regular basis for the past decade. Heck, name some one who did 50% of the things Messi does. You can't. And that's why comparing any other footballer in history with Messi is pure disrespect to Messi.
