Messi took on former mentor Pep Guardiola as Paris Saint-Germain travelled to Manchester City.
And things got off to a good enough start for the Argentine.
He nutmegged Sterling with an outrageous little flick of his left boot in the first half.
And he then assisted a lovely Kylian Mbappe opener following a neat move in the 50th minute
Focusing on his piece of dazzling skill, one fan wrote: “Messi really loves a nutmeg against City.”
While another joked: “Messi nutmeg against City is inevitable.”

From this point onward, however, Sterling would come out on top.
The 26-year-old tucked home City’s 63rd minute equaliser.
He then watched at close quarters as Bernardo Silva teed up Gabriel Jesus to slot home a priceless winner.
The 2-1 triumph confirms City’s status as group winners with a game to spare.
PSG meanwhile will come second, opening them up to a tough Round of 16 clash.
