Lionel Messi once again showed his class in Ligue 1 play by recording an assist and creating two goal-scoring chances for his teammates. It was a pleasure to see him record an assist and create two chance for his teammates in PSG's 4-3 win over Troyes on matchday 13. He struggled to maintain possession in the final third against Troyes, as he lost all nine of his ground duels and was unable to complete a dribble.
But despite his lack of success with the ball, Messi was able to make the most of his time on it. His assist to Neymar in the second half of the match was his 10th in Ligue 1 this season. He has recorded 10 assists in a mere 12 matches this season, which is a new personal record for the fewest matches to reach 10 assists in a single league campaign. Messi now has his sights set on leading PSG to Champions League victories.
