'It's not what Leo Messi does... it's disrespectful': BT pundits shocked to see PSG superstar given role of laying down behind the wall, as Rio Ferdinand jokes that 'he don't get his kit dirty'

Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves could not believe their eyes when they saw Lionel Messi lying down behind the PSG wall to stop free-kick taker Riyad Mahrez going under it.

Messi finally got off the mark as PSG beat Manchester City 2-0 in Paris on Tuesday night, with the Argentine doubling the lead with a brilliant strike in the second half after a lovely one-two with Kylian Mbappe.

However, eyebrows were raised in response to a moment that took place in the closing stages of the Group A fixture at the Parc des Princes.
