French Football expert Jonathon Johnson joined Sky Sports to discuss the fallout in Paris after Lionel Messi was substituted in his home debut.

PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino has defended his decision to substitute the forward in Sunday’s 2-1 win over Olympique Lyonnais in the French Ligue 1 and said the Argentine was okay with being taken off.

Messi, making his third appearance for the side, hit the woodwork but failed to score on his Parc des Princes debut and was substituted in the 75th minute with the score at 1-1.

The 34-year-old former Barcelona player looked puzzled when he was replaced with full-back Achraf Hakimi and exchanged words with Pochettino as he walked off the pitch. The pair didn’t shake hands.
