PSG coach Christophe Galtier was full of praise when talking about Lionel Messi as he called him the best player in the world.

Lionel Messi was back with PSG playing his first match since winning the World Cup with Argentina and to no one’s surprise, he scored. The Argentine got his first goal of the new year and had an influence on the match.

Christophe Galtier would speak to the media after the match. Here is what he had to say:

“We saw, surely the best player in the world again. He was anxious to play, he prepared well and obviously when Leo is on the pitch, things change a lot. He’s calmer, having won the trophy that he was missing.”
