Lionel Messi’s show in PSG’s triumph against Toulouse: a great goal and the Olympic cry that prevented the stick

Without Mbappé, Neymar and Sergio Ramos, all injured, Lionel Messi put PSG on his shoulder. And he led them to a difficult victory against Toulouse at the Parc des Princes. The 35-year-old striker scored a great goal and tried an Olympic shout that if it weren’t for the stick would have ended up in the net: with his contribution, the Parisians won 2-1 to stay comfortably at the top of the Ligue 1 (stretched the difference over Olympique de Marseille to eight points, with one more game).

A great goal and a jewel that was annulled by offside: Lionel Messi’s pearls in PSG’s victory against Montpellier

The star from Rosario was decisive in the return to victory of the Parisian team that asserted itself at the top of Ligue 1 after winning 3-1 away

The captain of the Argentine world champion team in Qatar 2022 was the clearest footballer of a team that still has not managed to recover the version it showed before the World Cup. Hakimi’s stride and the flashes of La Pulga were the best weapons for those led by Christophe Galtier to stay in the game after Branco van den Boomen’s goal 20 minutes into the initial stage.

The former Barcelona never abdicated in his search. He gave away a pair of stacked ones with his signature, even more aesthetic than when the supersonic speed of his youth made them look simple. He tried an Olympic goal at 33 ′ and almost succeeded: his shot-center at the near post disoriented the goalkeeper, no one connected and he hit the far post. Hakimi’s precise and furious shot gave PSG peace of mind before the break. And then it was Messi’s time…

They assure that Lionel Messi and PSG will meet to agree on the details of the new contract

The link between the Argentine world champion and the Parisian club ends next June and the intention of both parties would be to renew

At 13 minutes into the plugin, the Moroccan tried a diagonal sprint, with difficulty holding the ball, which appeared right in the position of the Argentine, standing in the crescent of the area. And the attacker did not hesitate: he kicked first to nail the ball into the corner of the fence defended by Maxime Dupe.

Fatal match for Mbappé: he missed two penalties in one minute and was injured

The PSG striker played just 21 minutes against Montpellier, enough time to star in one of the plays of the year

If he almost closed his task with two pearls: 15 from the epilogue, he received from Nuno Mendes, he got rid of an opponent, faced the front and praised the left-footed shot: his bet happened close to an angle. To test his level of competitiveness: he was bummed as if the match was 0-0. And at 94 minutes he filtered from right to left, defined with subtlety and… Again the stick denied him what he deserved.

The star from Rosario has accumulated 15 shouts and 14 assists in 23 games this season in the PSG jersey, not counting his great contribution to the Albiceleste in the World Cup in Qatar, where he scored seven transcendental goals for the conquest, in addition to having won the Ball Gold for the best player.

But his talent does not take vacations. And for Ligue 1 he offered a new great show…
