Lionel Messi may not have had the best season of his career, but he certainly hasn’t been a flop since his transfer to PSG. The star Argentine was looking for a while, but even though he didn’t have an incredible number of goals or assists, he was one of the best players in the world.
Virtually all statistical servers that rate players had Messi ranked among the top five, not only in Europe. Only Kylian Mbappé and Karim Benzema did better than most.
Despite all this, Messi is surprisingly absent from the Ballon d’Or nominations. This season, however, he is doing his best to make a difference next year. He has improved his numbers considerably and it seems that things are starting to sit right at PSG.
He’s scoring goals regularly, he’s passing regularly, he’s regularly the best player on his team. All the talk is still about Messi being back and confirming that he is the best player in the history of football.
And Benfica could see that on Wednesday night. The whole star trio of Mbappé, Neymar, Messi shone against them. The 35-year-old Argentine was the one who finished off the game with a shot that went into the net.
It was the eighth goal for Messi this season. He also has 8 assists to his credit. We can expect his numbers to rise significantly.
