There is no doubt: Lionel Messi is one of the best players in the history of world football. The Argentine genius had been linked to Barcelona for a lifetime , until in the summer of 2021 he changed his scene and signed for PSG . In Barcelona he has broken practically all the records and has won all the titles in the more than 15 years that he has been there since he debuted as a professional, but the crack has had to turn the page.

Messi’s statistics at PSG: seasons, games, goals and assists

Messi was called to make history with PSG, a team that has been looking for the long-awaited Champions League for several years. A tournament that Leo Messi won four times with Barcelona and that he has not achieved since 2015, so both parties were interested in getting the highest trophy at club level in Europe. However, on both occasions they could not get past the round of 16, in 2021-22 they were beaten by Real Madrid and, a year later, by Bayern Munich.

His first goal with PSG was against Guardiola’s Manchester City, on the second day of the 2021-22 Champions League group stage. In Ligue1, his scoring debut was against Nantes, on November 20, 2021.

The 300 assists

Mbappé’s qualifying for PSG’s 2-1 win against Brest, in addition to the three points, meant Lionel Messi’s 300th assist at club level. The first 269 were made with the FC Barcelona shirt, while the last 31 were with the Parisian team. He also has 701 goals and all in 873 games played. A legend.

Whistled by the Parc des Princes

In the run-up to the match against Olympique Lyon, when the team’s formation was announced, the fans who were already in the stands decided to boo and whistle at Leo when his image appeared on the screen. Logically, his season is not the best, the rumors of his departure are getting stronger and what happened in the World Cup final influenced this discontent among supporters.

After the 1-0 defeat, the person who defended the star is Cristophe Galtier, pointing out that “he is very tough. He is a player who gives a lot. Today Leo tried, managed some situations but he also got lost. He gave a lot in the first part of the season but we can’t expect everything from him.”
