I don't know whether Messi would be eager to break such record now. He must still be under the influence of the World Cup title these days. It is his first World Cup title in his career in the end so it is very meaningful. I don't mean of course that he would play complacently for PSG from now on. But it's like he has completed the missing piece of the puzzle by this achievement.
He would just try to do his best for PSG to reach their Champions League title target and that's all.

As Ronaldo has signed for Al-Nassr now, I wonder if Messi will be able to get past Ronaldo's goal amount in the Champions League before his retirement.
I assume Ronaldo will retire at the team he is going to now. Even if he returns to Europe one last time I don't think there would be a big team to be interested in him. He can still play in the Champions League then if he becomes okay to playing for an average team that have qualified for the tournament. But I still don't expect any of these to happen. Messi doesn't have a big gap with Ronaldo considering these numbers. He is already very productive and I expect him to play even one more season at PSG. This is enough time for him to break the goal record.
It will be difficult for Messi I think if he is not going to play more than 2-3 seasons.In Champions League Messi has not scored with Paris as many goals as he has scored with Barcelona and I doubt this is going to change.Paris has its main objective to win the Champions League and they will not care much of furnishing Messi with a lot of balls,they just need to get past their adversaries and score.
The time though clearly permit to Messi to score more than 12 goals during these 3 seasons which I am assuming he will be playing including this one we are already in the middle of it.This does not mean that if Messi scores more goals than Ronaldo is a better player than him,they both have won a couple of times the Ballon D'Or so for me they are the two greatest players of our time,as simple as that.
The match between PSG and Bayern Munich will be very competitive. Both the teams have very good players who will fight hard to show their potential. However, one of Bayern Munich's players, Sadio Mane, would have been stronger if he had joined the team. But he will probably miss this game due to his injury.
This is still not really certain.Mane's injury condition is expected to heal in February after he has been absent for about 3 months but this is still not a reference for Bayern to take him to the match later.
The PSG and Bayern match will be held in mid-February but we also still don't know whether Mane will be ready or not for this match although the hope is that he will be back to 100 percent fit.
But I personally don't think PSG have any chance of winning the Champions League title. Because PSG's attack is good enough but their defense line-up needs some improvement. PSG will understand their weaknesses when they play against big teams.
All PSG players must unite and help each other to achieve their goals, as it is known that the PSG squad is in an internal conflict, Mbappe is in conflict with Neymar. The latest news I read Mbappe made demands on PSG management to immediately sell Neymar, Mbappe wants Galtier to be replaced with Zidane immediately. Harmony between players really supports the team in achieving its goals, Mbappe's selfishness prevents PSG from winning the UCL title. Especially now that Mbappe is having personal problems with Messi.

However, one of Bayern Munich's players, Sadio Mane, would have been stronger if he had joined the team. But he will probably miss this game due to his injury.
Schedule for the match between Bayern Munich vs PSG on February 15, this is a long time for Sadio Mane to rest. Of course there is still a possibility that Sadio Mane will recover from his injury. But I'm sure PSG will advance to the next round, because this is the hope of a big French club. And this also repeats the history of the 2021 quarter-finals. The PSG superstar will be stressed to win the champions league title for this season. If we look at the whole club, of course the position of PSG players is in first place. They have bought the best players at this time.

The type of commitment and fight that Messi gave in the World Cup on behalf of Argentina he cannot give it for any club at his age. What he did in the World cup was the last fight of his career which he gave it all spiritually and physically. I don't think there is any motivation that will be up to what he had in the World Cup .
PSG fans should instead look upto to Mbappe to deliver them.
These two players are actually still very good for the PSG team to rely on this season, so there is no need to ignore one of them and rely only on one of them. Because the more players a team can rely on, the better it will be for the team. After all, the opponent that PSG will face is also not a bad team this season, so PSG needs to make sure all their players are fit and reliable in every game.PSG fans should instead look upto to Mbappe to deliver them.
PSG needs to get better motivation this season for a title in the Champions League, because PSG has never had a Champions League trophy during the team's career in the Champions League. So for this season PSG should be more motivated to get trophies so that their historical record gets better even though it won't be immediately on par with several teams that have won several trophies in the Champions League.
For the past few seasons, PSG has got one of the best squads on paper and as a result, they were the favorite to win the UCL but they were unable to do so because they had really poor team chemistry among them especially Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar. So they really need a coach with a big personality who can manage them really well and set them straight. I think Zinédine Zidane would've been the perfect fit but it is what it is.

PSG should immediately evaluate this before they meet Bayern Munich in the Champions League, because a team like Bayern Munich is not a small and weak team. But Bayern Munich is a big team that is often a threat in the Champions League and Bayern Munich is a very balanced opponent for PSG in the Champions League this season, so the PSG team must immediately evaluate if there are weaknesses in certain lines within the team.
It is official now,we are not going to see Cristiano Ronaldo at Champions League games of 2023,he choose Al Nassr to play with in the Middle East.Many will not be happy with this choice but I think we can all agree it was an economic choice,he is becoming 38 in February and he has signed a contract that will give him with the total benefits from publicity and all others about 500 million in 2 years,who would not make such move for 2 years.Personally if I were him I would even go and play with all the penguin in the North or South pole,don't remember well where they are 
.
What are your thoughts at such move?
at least if at Al Nassr Ronaldo is highly valued and valued at a large fee I don't think it's a problem, because he will certainly be close to retirement too and enjoy old age with enough money from a 2-year contract with the club that will suffice his needs in old age later, lol.What are your thoughts at such move?
but whatever it is, at least this news dismissed the news circulating that Ronaldo will play for the club in the UCL, Al Nassr has officially announced it too, whatever it is, it is a decision that must be respected
Bayern Munich and PSG are very strong. Am still scared about PSG. PSG is a team that has the best squad in the world. Bayern is capable of defeating PSG but it won't easy for them when PSG already has players that can be considered as world best .
The quality of individual players does not necessarily mean that the team is the best. If so, Brazil would be the world champion in football, and Manchester City and PSG would already be European champions several times.There are many rumors that the relations between the biggest stars of PSG are not good, especially Mbappe's relations with Neymar and Messi.
A team is not only the sum of the individual qualities of the players, but it is also important that the team is focused and united on a common goal.
It seems that this has not really been the case with PSG in recent years.
This PSG VS Bayern Munich match is going to be a really interesting one as none of the teams are 100% fit. Bayern Munich have a lot of injury problems and PSG have some internal problems going on with their players which have increased after the World Cup, in my opinion.
If I am not wrong Bayern Munich's Sadio Mané will be injured for their next game which is going to be a big blow for Bayern Munich. And as you said individual performances matter very less in these competitive football games.
Messi is a professional footballer, and forbthe love of the profession, professionals don't think that way. Mesi has laid hand on his greatest football dream, but that doesn't mean he has completely lost interest in achieving more, because I believe PSG didn't just sign him for his already made achievement, they did so because they needed him to help them achieve more. Messi is still much concerned about helping PSG grap the champion league as expected.
Messi could have made new history for him when he helped PSG win the UCL trophy. PSG has spent quite a lot of money on it. Because the domestic league competition is not so tight, PSG must prepare its strength.
True, but Psg is a team with a strong enough squad to be champions in UCL. They have a team quality above the French league. Now they want to win this trophy in return for the money they spent to win the UCL. This is also possible for psg. Psg has this staff quality. Along with Mbappe, Messi, Neymar, the level of squad quality is much higher. They are one of the best candidate teams again this year.

I believe either Manchester City, Liverpool or Napoli will win this season because they're very hungry to get this trophy.
Manchester city and Liverpool are definitely potential winners of the tournament because their side are playing very good football and have the squad to win other strong contenders in the tournament but what's Napoli doing in that statement. They have no chance of winning the champions league even with Osimhen been on the form. I'm even suspecting him leaving the club this January as he has many interest all over Europe and he better take his chances now and go to a more profile club.

Fans will be counting on Messi to bring same spirit from the world cup to the champions league and help PSG win the champions League.
Was Messi the best player at the world cup? He wasn't, he just scored cheap penalties and was favored all through the world cup just because the officials wanted him to win and it was obvious. I don't think they'll favor him in the champions league. PSG aren't winning the champions league until they let go of signing superstar and focus on signing players that still have alot to prove and put all on the line on the field.
With the Haaland project. Manchester City is one of the clubs that is frightening for their opponents, especially if The Citizen brings in several players this January. for sure, will add strength to their squad later. but not for Liverpool this year, I'm quite optimistic that Klopp will eventually be able to lead his squad to finish in the top four in the domestic league. however, their consistency in carrying out their matches has not proven to be stable. What's more, Liverpool have a very tough opponent, apart from their opponents having big names, they also have a winning mentality that the current candidates don't have, namely, Man City and PSG.
Speaking of Napoli, there are many rumors surrounding Victor Osimhen's departure this January. but I doubt it, although rumor has it that Nopoli is in need of a sizable financial fund. chances are, Osimhen will be released by Napoli in the next summer window.
as for Messi, everyone has the right to express his opinion including you. but for sure, he has ensured that he and his country won the world cup. for the Champions League, however, Messi is one of the important players to realize PSG's dream of winning the champions league trophy for the first time. even then, if PSG manages to become a finalist in this competition.
