Fans are excited about what Lionel Messi and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have to offer next season after the Parisians' impressive 3-0 win in their friendly against Urawa Reds. It has been a great pre-season for the Ligue 1 giants, who have won all three of their friendlies so far, and fans cannot hide their amazement.
Taking to Twitter to hail Messi and his impressive link-up play with Neymar during the game, fans were excited about what the future held for the club. Although the duo only spent 30 minutes together on the field, the former Barcelona stars performed well together, much to the delight of the Parisians faithful.
Here is a selection of tweets from fans:

Reports of Neymar potentially leaving PSG this summer have continued to abound, but performances like this could put them to bed. Messi, too, has looked excellent in pre-season after a largely dissapointing debut season with PSG. If the duo continue to link up well with Kylian Mbappe, the UEFA Champions League might not be far from their grasp next season.
Lionel Messi's PSG beat Urawa Reds 3-0
Paris Saint-Germain ran out 3-0 comfortable winners in their pre-season game against the Urawa Red Diamonds. The champions of France were too hot to handle for the Japanese side, converting their dominance on the pitch with a convincing win.
PSG were in control from the start. Chistophe Galtier’s men took the lead in the 16th minute through Pablo Sarabia and never looked back. The Parisians doubled their lead in the 34th minute through Kylian Mbappe.
PSG and Urawa made a raft of changes in the second half and Galtier threw in both Lionel Messi and Neymar. The Parisians made sure of the win after Arnaud Kalimuendo-Muinga found the back of the net to make it 3-0 in the 76th minute.
The Parisians will be content with a comfortable win and hope they can take their pre-season form into the new campaign. They'll continue their pre-season tour against Gamba Osaka on July 2, before returning home to play the Trophée des Champions against Nantes. PSG will kick-off their Ligue 1 campaign on August 7 against Clermont Foot.
