<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Messi has had a tough start at PSG, but in a win over Lille, the former Barcelona great shone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In a 5-1 win over last season&#8217;s Ligue 1 winners, the Argentine had a goal and an assist, and Pochettino believes it&#8217;s only a matter of time before Messi really starts going.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe has stated that everything is starting to fall into place for PSG, but has refused to confirm a summer transfer to Real Madrid.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Mbappe told Amazon Prime, &#8220;We keep trying to ramp things up.&#8221; &#8220;It was a lot more complete today; there was more movement and character.&#8221;</span></p>
