A significant event took place in yesterday's match of the 1st round of the Champions League group stage between the French PSG and Juventus Turin (2:1).
At the 84th minute of this meeting, Lionel Messi was replaced in the hosts - Carlos Soler entered the field instead. Thus, the legendary Argentinean was replaced in the Champions League match for the first time in almost 8 years.
Since October 21, 2014, Messi has played 63 matches in the Champions League, playing the full 90 minutes each time, and only yesterday was substituted for the first time in this period of time. At the same time, the 35-year-old striker has been substituted in three of PSG's last four matches.
