After the 1-1 draw against Monaco, in which PSG did not show the overwhelming form of the beginning of the season, PSG returned to winning ways with a 3-0 victory over Toulouse in the fifth match day of Ligue 1, and Lionel Messi put on a show, even if he did not manage to score. The 35-year-old provided two top-notch assists, created at least half a dozen scoring chances and made goalkeeper Maxime Dupe the star of the match.
As on the previous match day, he was once again substituted as the match was resolved, but this time the cameras did not detect any grimace on his part. They did show some of his talent, such as the free kick 3 minutes into the second half, which the goalkeeper saved in spectacular fashion, as well as two other incredible saves to deny Messi.
