VIDEO: Messi’s genius combined with Mbappé’s speed is unstoppable! The Argentine has surpassed another historic milestone
PSG were heavily criticised after their first-round play-off exit to Bayern Munich, especially the duo of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé, who showed virtually nothing against the Munich side. But now they have both shone again and the Argentine striker has once again pushed the limit of the impossible!
PSG were heavily criticised after their first-round play-off exit to Bayern Munich, especially the duo of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé, who showed virtually nothing against the Munich side. But now they have both shone again and the Argentine striker has once again pushed the limit of the impossible!
In Brest’s duel with PSG on Saturday, we could see a classic picture of recent years. The dominance of the Parisians in Ligue 1 is really big thanks to the huge investments of the Qatari owners and the relegation fighting Brest can hardly do anything about it.
Still, they tried and almost managed to get a point, only to gamble in the middle of the field shortly before the end of the match when Messi got the ball and promptly sent Mbappé on the attack, who, when he is running, is practically impossible to catch.
Subsequently, the star French striker also toyed with the home goalkeeper and uncompromisingly headed the ball into the net, allowing PSG to take the three points. However, it can’t be said that they really needed it.
Coach Christophe Galtier’s charges are currently 11 points ahead of second-placed Marseille. Overall, they have won 66 points from 27 games so far, with 33 points still in play. If PSG manage to win all the remaining 11 league matches, while they can draw once, they would break their own record for points.
The Ligue 1 points record is held by the Parisian side from the 2015/16 season, when they won 96 points. However, PSG traditionally lose motivation due to their almost certain top spot and their end of season results are not strong.
Messi’s 300th club assist
Messi recorded his 17th assist in a PSG jersey this season and his 300th career club assist overall. However, most of his assists were, of course, collected while still at Barcelona.
The Parisian side is already out of the Champions League after two defeats to Bayern Munich. Then they also dropped out of the Coupe de France very early when they ran into Marseille. Only 11 league games remain to be played before the end of the season.
