An old clip of Lionel Messi turning and twisting Jerome Boateng in a Champions League game is circulating on social media.

The UCL will resume on Tuesday and the biggest game of the day is set to take place at the Parc des Princes when the champions of France and Germany lock horns.

It will be Paris Saint-Germain versus Bayern Munich in the first leg of their last-16 encounter.

Christophe Galtier has welcomed the news that Lionel Messi has fully recovered and will face the Bavarians in France.

The 35-year-old missed PSG's defeat to Monaco with a hamstring problem, but is expected to start as he aims to replicate his old form against Julian Nagelsmann's side.

Messi, who was then playing for Barcelona, grabbed the headlines following their 3-0 triumph against Bayern Munich in 2015.

La Blaugrana scored all of their three goals in the final 13 minutes, but the quality of the irresistible MSN trident shone through.

The dribbling magician notched twice and Neymar rounded off the win at Camp Nou in a semi-final first-leg.

Messi's second goal of the night would go down as one of his most iconic Champions League goals - and one that Germany defender, Jerome Boateng will not enjoy rewatching.
