While Kylian Mbappe heads into this game in good form since the start of the season, the same cannot be said about Lionel Messi and Neymar.

It has to be said that Messi was recruited for this kind of a game and the player himself knows that a lot is at stake for him.
The same can be said about Neymar who is getting back to full fitness and is definitely ready for this one.
“Neymar is ready. He did the training. We will see the choices of the coach to make him play or to leave him on the bench. I don’t know what the choice will be. But he is ready, he wants. It’s a great game against a great team. This is the time when you have to make the effort and he is ready to do it,” said Marquinhos.
