VIDEO: Messi scores in his first game back in Paris! After a beautiful combination, he increased PSG’s lead

Lionel Messi finally returned to Paris after a big celebration and could be in the PSG line-up on Wednesday. And that’s exactly what happened when he was not missing from the starting line-up in the match against Angers. It can’t be said that he had a long warm-up. He did manage to score a goal.

This is his season. Last season he was unfairly criticized for his less-than-stellar numbers, but despite his lower number of goals and assists, the stats sites noticed his contribution to the team and rated him as one of the best players in the world.

Despite this, Lionel Messi was absent from the Ballon d’Or nominations. This year, however, this should definitely not be the case. The Argentine star has been shining since the start of the season, and not just in a PSG jersey, but also in an Argentina jersey.

He scores goals, passes them on, sets up chances for his teammates and has grown into a true leader by nature as well. This is how he led Argentina to the world championship title and he was also the best player at the tournament in Qatar.

Big celebrations followed, but now Messi is back in Paris. On Wednesday evening, he played against Angers at the Parc des Princes. PSG took the lead in the fifth minute when the talented Hugo Ekitike scored.

The second goal was awaited until the second act. However, the legendary Argentine scored it. After a beautiful combination, he sent the ball into the net as if it were just a pass. With incredible ease and precision.

The linesman called offside, but after checking the video, it was confirmed that there was no offside. The goal was therefore valid and Messi could celebrate another goal.

According to WhoScored, the Argentine was one of the best players of the match. He confirmed his excellent form. He has already collected 12 competitive goals and 14 assists for PSG this season.

At the World Cup, Messi then netted 6 goals and added 3 assists. He has not scored in a single game, and that was in the group stage against Poland.
