Paris Saint-Germain continue to plow through Ligue 1. The 3-1 victory at AS Saint-Etienne was dominated by Lionel Messi, who did not appear as a scorer, but three times as a preparer.
It was thanks to Etienne Green that Sunday evening did not turn into a nightmare for AS Saint-Etienne. Paris Saint-Germain desperate for a long time about the goalkeeper of the home team. Lionel Messi once again showed his outstanding skills, but this time as a preparer.
La Pulga made a template hat trick that started with his soulful free-kick cross on Marquinhos (45th + 2). This was followed by a pass to national team colleague Angel Di Maria (79th) and another cross to Marquinhos, who marked his second goal in stoppage time.
It is extremely important what Messi has shown, PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino assessed the performance of his superstar on Amazon Prime Video. Messi is just an “incredible player,” added the coach. “Giving three assists is also important. It’s only a matter of time before he scores goals.”
Messi has not yet reached the level that is expected of him. The 34-year-old is slowly gaining momentum. In eleven competitive games, he now counts eight direct goal participations. This Wednesday (9 p.m.) against OGC Nice, Messi has the next chance to score his second Ligue 1 goal.
