Messi scored a potential goal of the year in the first round of Ligue 1! Even the opposing fans applauded. Watch his first scissor kick

In addition to the Bundesliga and Premier League, the French Ligue 1 kicked off on Saturday night and PSG, who will be the favourites to win the title again, did very well. In particular, Lionel Messi and Neymar shone. The former scored his first goal at the age of 35 with a pair of scissors.

PSG started the season a week ago, beating Nantes in the French Super Cup. The league season got off to a similar start when they beat Clermont 5-0.

Neymar and Lionel Messi in particular shone. Both players had their day and got on well together. Neymar scored four goals, Messi three.

The first goal came in the ninth minute when Messi set up Neymar. In the 26th minute, it was this duo that started the action, with Achraf Hakimi scoring at the end. Twelve minutes later, Neymar played a standard situation directly onto the head of Marquinhos, who added another goal.

We had to wait until the end of the game for the last two goals. But both were worth the wait. Messi, in his typical fashion, started the action, passing into the hexagon to Neymar, who instead of shooting, still passed to his Argentine teammate to score.

And the highlight of the evening was to be seen in the 86th minute. Paredes found Messi in the opposition’s sixth with a superb ball, and the Argentine first worked the ball with his chest and then sent it into the net with his scissors. At 35 years of age, it was his first goal of this type.

When Messi scored the last goal of the match, the opposing fans must have applauded him. There was a massive chanting of his name and it was no wonder. This is simply how the best players in history play.

In two competitive matches for PSG, Messi now has 3 goals and 1 assist.
