PSG have drawn Real Madrid in the Round of 16 of the Champions League. However, they will be quietly confident about their chances, thanks to Lionel Messi in the squad. The Argentinean has been in outstanding form in Europe in the current campaign despite his domestic travails.
Meanwhile, Messi has admitted that he wants to win the Champions League with PSG this season. Elsewhere, a Bayern Munich star wants to join the Parisians. On that note, here's a look at the key PSG transfer stories as on 15th December 2021.
Lionel Messi targeting Champions League triumph with PSG
Lionel Messi has said that PSG want to win everything this year, including the Champions League. The Argentinean joined the Parisians this summer after ending his association with Barcelona. However, the 34-year-old has endured mixed fortunes at the Parc des Princes.
Messi has been outstanding in the Champions League, scoring five times in as many games this season. However, his form in the league has been poor. The Argentinean has managed just a solitary goal from ten appearances.
PSG have gone from strength to strength in the Champions League, thanks to Lionel Messi. However, the Parisians have not let the 34-year-old's misfortunes in the league affect them. Despite his struggles, the Argentinean is aiming for the sky once again this season.
Speaking to Ansa, as relayed by PSG Talk, Lionel Messi revealed his targets for the season with PSG.
"The objective this year for Paris Saint-Germain is to try to achieve everything that we play for, and obviously, the objective is the Champions League, which we are trying to achieve,” said Lionel Messi.
"I think that’s everyone’s goal, in a special competition where all the great teams want to win, and we’ll try to achieve that too," continued Messi.
Kingsley Coman wants to join the Parisians
Kingsley Coman wants to join PSG, according to Barca Universal via El Nacional. The Frenchman rose through the ranks at the Parc des Princes before leaving for Juventus in 2014. He has caught the eye since moving to Bayern Munich, but his future at the club hangs in the balance at the moment.
Barcelona are eager to take him to the Camp Nou. However, the 25-year-old has turned down the Blaugrana, as he prefers a move to PSG. Coman has his heart set on returning to his old hunting ground, as he wants to play alongside Lionel Messi.
Sergio Ramos opens up on Kylian Mbappe's PSG future
Sergio Ramos wants Kylian Mbappe to stay at PSG. The Frenchman's current deal with the Parisians runs out at the end of the season. The Ligue 1 giants are moving mountains to tie him down to a new deal, but are yet to achieve a breakthrough in talks thus far.
Speaking at the inauguration of his new gym in Madrid, as relayed by PSG Talk, Ramos said he wants Mbappe to stay at PSG.

I didn't say group stage I said knockout stage
I didn't say knock out stages I said group stages. The season Psg made it to the finals Neymar had atleast a goal contribution in every single phase of the competition except the finals Where was Mbappe vs BVB, Leipzig and Bayern???

Last season, Neymar was doing all the goal scoring during the group stages of the UCL when Mbappe was firing blank. Mbappe netted just twice in the group stages. So yes, it isn't a stretch to say Ney secured their UCL qualification into the K/O. Just 1 bad start to the season and you are holding them by the throat..

Thanks to Messi for bringing PSG in last 16. That’s his effort but I know that Leo has a poor performance in domestic league. However at champions league, he is the key player.
by two penalties and all assists by mbappe

Without Mbappe PSG are just an average team.Messi and Neymar they don't step up in big games and score they are a kind of playmaker.

When Messi was still at barca mbappe always think cristiano is the best until Mbappe saw messi in training, then Mbappe realized he has been making serious mistake like some of are still doing till this moment! Many cr7 fans are too afraid 😨 to watch Messi play. That's why the only thing an average cr7 would like to talk about cristiano goals! But cr7 fans still dont know that Cr7 has 4 golden shoes and Messi has 6 six V1 ! Messi is not in psg to compete with mbappe but he want to help him! Cr7 goes any where thinking he is the best and each time cr7 struggle to prove he is the best but messi knows he is the best and need not anyone or media to tell him and Messi need not to prove anything to anyone again because he is the goat 🐐! Messi is a team player and that's why messi hold the record for both higher numbers of golden shoe 👟 and highest numbers of assist. All what the press is doing is to make mbappe feel important and change his mind and stay! More over messi never came to psg to play league 1 ! Messi don't play league 1, Messi play Champion league!

tbh,Real madrid will win.... Madrids mid is superior to PSGs.....and veratti is the only world cls midfileder they have while Madrid have all time great players like kroos and modric in their squad playing at elite level.....and Benzema and vinicious currently the best attacking duo....david alabha and Militoa have formed a great wall at the back....and Courtois, without a doubt top 3 GK right now.......I think Madrid is the most complete team in Europe right now.......... PSGs advantage is that...they have 3 absolute monsters who can torn real madrid apart in a spltut of seconds.....
