PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino was delighted with Lionel Messi's debut in victory at Reims on Sunday.

Former Barcelona star Messi was a 66th substitute, coming on for Neymar, as PSG won 2-0.

Afterwards, Pochettino said: "How did I judge Messi's first minutes at PSG ? I think it was good.

"I am very happy to see him make his debut. He is still far from his form, but he is training very well and obviously he will be very fit after the break.

"We expect the best of his form."
