Lionel Messi was once again the figure of Paris Saint-Germain, in the 2-1 victory against Nice. In this way, the Parisians are the absolute leaders of Ligue 1. The Argentine scored his first goal from a free kick in the French squad, however, he experienced an uncomfortable moment in the attack zone.

The captain of the Argentine national team understands perfectly with Neymar, with whom he shared ownership on matchday nine. However, Christophe Galtier arranged for Hugo Ekitike to complete the trident, instead of Kylian Mbappe. The young striker made Messi shine.

It was a test for the young forward, Hugo Ekitike. Although he didn't play a bad game, he couldn't shine and he was also affected by Nice's goal, which interrupted Christophe Galtier's plans and rushed the substitutions, not allowing him to finish the game.

On more than one occasion, the Albiceleste '10' was annoyed by the movements made by Ekitike, who could not understand Leo or Neymar. Moreover, in the first part, what would have meant a lethal counterattack led by the top Ballon d'Or winner, ended with the ball being pushed back by the Frenchman and Messi's notable anger.

Messi's numbers at PSG:

Despite the annoyance with Ekitike, the captain of Argentina registered a new magical gameweek. With his free kick goal, Messi already has seven goals and eight assists between Ligue 1, French Super Cup and UEFA Champions League. In addition, he scored another four during Argentina's friendlies in the United States.
