Laurent Blanc: 'Barcelona not just Lionel Messi'

Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc says that his team will need to be aware of all Barcelona's threats in their upcoming Champions League quarter-final.

Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc has insisted that his team cannot afford to just concentrate on Barcelona's Lionel Messi in their upcoming Champions League quarter-final.

Blanc has admitted that "Messi is unstoppable", but claimed that the French outfit must put on a strong team performance if they are to progress into the semi-finals.

"Lionel Messi is unstoppable. If he scores 40 goals, he's had a bad season! But we can't just focus on him. The solution must be collective, man marking doesn't work," Blanc told reporters.

"We will need to be aggressive defensively but in the good sense of the term, to be able to stop their attackers."

The two teams, who met in the group stages earlier this season, will play the first leg of their last-eight clash in Paris on Wednesday.
