Toby Alderweireld has rated Lionel Messi higher than Cristiano Ronaldo. The Argentinean has been on a roll for PSG this season, while his arch-rival has endured a difficult season with Manchester United. The two have dominated world football for almost two decades and continue to divide opinions. Speaking on his WTTAA podcast, as cited by The Mirror, Alderweireld recalled feeling helpless when defending against Messi. “Messi. I usually read the play on the field, and often I succeed. But Messi ... ooh. One night at Wembley when we lost 4-2 against Barcelona (with Tottenham ) he was unprecedented. ... really unprecedented. You can’t get a grip on him. Everything he does, he does it just that little faster than you," said Alderweireld. He continued: "He does this, then he does that; it goes so fast. I really had a feeling I couldn’t do anything against him. You try to get in duels with him. He looks like a slender guy so you try to get physical. But he’s not slender at all, if you look at his thighs you think ... wow. He is so fast. The quality, the ball control, It's not normal." The Belgian went on to acknowledge Ronaldo's numbers but added that Messi was his toughest opponent. "I played against Ronaldo many times. Of course, his numbers don’t lie, but Messi was the best, because he is simply elusive. You can’t get hold of him," said Alderweireld. Messi has seven goals and eight assists from 12 games across competitions this season. PSG receive boost in N Golo Kante pursuit N'Golo Kante has admirers at PSG.

The Ligue 1 giants are long-term admirers of the player and want to take him to Paris should he be available next year. The French champions are willing to offer him a contract of his choice if he moves to the Parc des Princes. Christophe Galtier hints at change in attacking tactics at PSG Christophe Galtier has hinted that he could revisit the 3-4-1-2 setup he used during the start of the season. The French manager recently moved to the 3-4-2-1 formation, with Kylian Mbappe operating as the lone striker. However, speaking to the press, Galtier also said that his formation will depend on the way the opponents get the ball out. “We played like that during the preparation, and in other games, yes. But it has to do with the way the opponents get the ball out and our desire to frustrate their early runs. This has some advantages but also disadvantages. Our two midfielders are very quickly isolated once the ones in front are eliminated. We always evolve based on how we get the ball out of the opponent,” said Galtier. Galtier could opt to switch his tactics against Benfica. Paul Merson predicts Arsenal vs Liverpool and other EPL GW 10 fixtures!
