Lionel Messi, a forward for Paris Saint-Germain, has done something amazing for the first time since he was with Barcelona in the 2019-2020 season. He helped his team beat Angers in Ligue 1 for the first time since he was with Barcelona.
Messi set up Kylian Mbappe’s goal in PSG’s 2-1 win over Angers in Ligue 1 on the weekend. This was his 15th assist of the season.
The Argentina player who won the World Cup is now the player who has set up the most goals in the French league this season.
Messi also has 15 Ligue 1 goals. In 33 La Liga games for Barcelona in 2019-2020, he scored 25 goals and set up 21 others. This was the last time he did this.
The numbers show that the 35-year-old player is just as good at setting up goals as he is at getting them.
