Paris Saint-Germain suffered three straight defeats, until the streak finally ended thanks to a fantastic free kick by Lionel Messi against Lille, in the 95th minute of the match. Despite Messi's great game, he now received a low blow.

L'Équipe belittled Lionel Messi once again, the French newspaper is known for giving unfair ratings to the Argentine, like today, or the day of the UEFA Champions League against Bayern Munich, when they gave him a 3.

While L'Équipe put Kylian Mbappé '8', who scored a brace against Lille and was a real danger, they rated Lionel Messi '5'. Despite the fact that he gave victory to the Parisians and unleashed madness on the bench of the Ligue 1 champion, the half-French once again belittled the winner of the last World Cup, where he scored seven goals and gave three assists.

 Thierry Henry's praise while L'Équipe belittled the Messi:

While the French newspaper belittled the world champion, Thierry Henry, Leo's former teammate at FC Barcelona, commented: “There are things that cannot be changed. Leo Messi has always played football his way, even when I was with him at Barça. He walks in the field, but he is the most dangerous. He remains for the other players to understand ”.
