While the visitors were chasing the winning goal in the closing minutes, manager Christophe Galtier substituted Messi, drawing the ire of angry fans on Twitter. Many of the 34-year-old's supporters strongly believed that the Argentine playmaker should have played the full 90 minutes. They did not mince their words as they took to Twitter to slam Galtier's decision to take Messi off the pitch instead of Kylian Mbappe or Neymar. Here is a selection of tweets from angry Lionel Messi fans: Johnathan @mcjohnathan02You substitute Messi and leave mbappe on the pitch??

I swear we don't deserve MessiPolitics not football at Paris Saint Germain #UCL https://t.co/QlgkW6eYgn Lionel Messi was arguably the best player on the pitch for the Parisians, actively working from deep to create attacks. Benfica 1-1 PSG Lionel Messi wondergoal is cancelled out by Danilo own-goal Both sides are unbeaten in this season's edition of the Champions League and strongly deserve to make it to the knockout stages. The entertaining draw between Benfica and PSG was held to just two goals after impressive performances from both the goalkeepers. The opening goal of the game was vintage Messi, whose curler put the ball past Odysseas Vlachodimos and into the top-left corner. The forward combined brilliantly with Neymar and Mbappe, passing the ball to the Frenchman, who laid it out for the Brazilian before it got back to Messi. Benfica became a record 40th team that Messi has scored against in the Champions League. The visitors' lead did not last for long, as the Portuguese retaliated just minutes before half-time. A pinpoint cross from Enzo Fernandez into the far post led to a Danilo Pereira own goal. The second half saw PSG work ruthlessly to score another goal, however, the Benfica goalkeeper was impressive on the night. Both teams ended up settling for a point each, but will play again at the Parc des Princes next week. Paul Merson predicts Arsenal vs Liverpool and other EPL GW 10 fixtures!
