It might actually work for the following reason:
PSG plays with 3 attackers staying up top and 7 retreating, especially in big games. They tried to do that vs Bayern in the final.
Messi will essentially take the place of Di Maria. Creativity-wise PSG will not lose anything, they will gain.
Then Mpabe has lightning speed, which Suarez did not have, and can provide a point for Messi to direct through balls in space.
Of course Di Maria defends and tracks back more,
but Ligue 1 is a farmers' league and 90% of the time Messi will not need to do that.
