Who’ll win the clash between PSG and Barcelona? Messi or Neymar?

So, the stage is all set as the draws are out. The teams will surely be preparing for the Round of 16 matches from now itself. Barcelona facing PSG is going to be one of the most anticipated matches. Lionel Messi will be going up against his former Barcelona teammate Neymar Jr. The last time, PSG faced Barcelona, Neymar and Messi knocked PSG out with the most memorable comeback of 6-1 (after a 4-0 defeat). However, they parted ways later on as Neymar Jr. joined PSG for a record-breaking fee. On the other hand, FC Porto will be locking heads with Juventus. As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo will be up against his former Real Madrid and Portugal teammate Pepe. Consequently, the Round of 16 matches will surely be thrilling and definitely worth watching.
