PARIS (Reuters) - Paris St Germain will need all their resources if they are to shine on all fronts this season, and it means that their formidable 'MNM' attacking trio will need to take a break at times, whether they like it or not.

While Mauricio Pochettino would rarely replace Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe or Neymar, his successor Christophe Galtier has not hesitated to put the Brazilian on the bench on Saturday, three days before their Champions League opener against Juventus.
