Paris Saint-Germain winger Angel Di Maria has talked up the chances of Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi joining him at the Parc des Princes in the future.

Yet Di Maria, now in the French capital following stints at Benfica, Real Madrid and Manchester United, is hoping PSG will flex their financial muscles and lure the Argentinian to Ligue 1.
The keeper was unable to prevent the Swede from securing his side’s second as the break approached, however, as he powerfully shot in from outside the penalty area for his 15th league goal of the campaign.
Di Maria added a third with a deft finish just after the interval and Kevin Trapp saved a late penalty from Andy Delort as Laurent Blanc’s side moved to 51 points from 19 games – two more than Lyon’s previous record of 49, set in 2006.
Here are some winners and losers from PSG’s 3-0 win away at Caen.
Heading into the winter break, PSG sits 19 points clear of Monaco, which was held to a goalless draw at Troyes, as the bottom club recorded its third successive draw despite playing nearly the entire match with 10 men.
“Ronaldo also had a good season, but is not the favourite like before”.
Monaco was away to last-place Troyes later Saturday and Angers travels to play Saint-Etienne on Sunday. He won the treble and has a good chance. Guingamp fell to a fifth consecutive defeat 2-0 at home to Rennes, with Ousmane Dembele and Giovanni Sio netting the goals.
