Messi to play against Miranchuk's Atlanta with a camera on his chest

The Argentine will take part in a special project of the Italian club

Lionel Messi will play against Atalanta in a Serie A match on Sunday with a camera attached to his chest, the Italian club announced on Friday. The footage will be used to create a documentary about the Argentine forward.

Messi has agreed to wear the camera for the entire match, which will be broadcast live on DAZN. The footage will be used to create a documentary about the Argentine forward's life and career.

The documentary is being produced by Mediaset, the Italian media company that owns DAZN. It is expected to be released in 2024.

The match against Atalanta will be Messi's first since he joined Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona in the summer.

The Argentine has scored three goals in four appearances for his new club, and he will be looking to add to his tally against Atalanta.

Atalanta are currently eighth in Serie A, and they will be looking to beat PSG to boost their chances of qualifying for the Champions League.

The match will be played at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, and it will kick off at 20:45 CEST.
