Lionel Messi is set to leave Paris Saint Germain after two seasons, with an expected offer of a £320 million-a-year deal if he leaves for Saudi Arabia.

Lecce took the lead in the 2nd minute of the game but was ruled out for offside by VAR. Juventus took the lead in the 15th minute when Leandro Paredes unleashed a beautiful rocket of a shot from a long-range free kick. The ball goes into the bottom left corner and leaves the goalkeeper beaten.
