During El Classico matches between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos were once the fiercest rivals on the field. However, football fans around the world were taken aback last summer when PSG signed both players during the transfer window. The duo's team spirit was evident on Friday when Messi let Ramos take the penalty that he had won for PSG.
Messi lets Sergio Ramos take the penalty shot.
PSG played a friendly against Ligue 2 side Quevilly-Rouen on Friday, and both Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos started under new manager Christophe Galtier. After being fouled inside the box, Messi won a penalty for PSG in the 33rd minute of the first half. Messi let Ramos take the penalty, and the former Real Madrid legend, who is also a good penalty taker, scored. Messi's decision to let Ramos take the penalty was the game's most talked-about moment. PSG won 2-0 thanks to not only Ramos but also academy player Djeidi Gassama.
Last season, in the Champions League round of 16, Messi missed a crucial penalty kick against his old rival Real Madrid. Both Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos struggled in their first seasons in Paris, as things did not go as planned for both superstars. While Ramos battled injuries, Messi struggled to find goals and had a quiet season by his standards. PSG fans will be hoping that both players will play together throughout the season and help PSG win the Champions League, which they have been attempting to win for the past two seasons.

Chelsea are without a traditional No. 9 after the departure of Romelu Lukaku and the likely departure of Armando Broja.
Lukaku's arrival did not fit Chelsea's style of play, and the Belgian struggled last season.
Under Thomas Tuchel, Kai Havertz was frequently used as a false nine, and the German appeared to enjoy the role. His goal helped Chelsea win the Champions League two years ago.
Tuchel does not want a traditional number 9, so Kai Havertz has stated that he is willing to take on the role of No.9.
"I've played a variety of positions over the years, but last season I spent a lot of time as a No9, and it's a position I really enjoy," Havertz said at the time.
