Despite winning against Troyes, the karma that PSG paid for punishing Messi

PSG faces Troyes as a visitor with the obligation to get the three points if they don't want the Ligue 1 title to be in danger. However, the club made the decision that Lionel Messi not play the aforementioned match, nor the next one, as punishment for his trip to Saudi Arabia.

The team felt this measure, but if there was a player who particularly missed the captain of the Argentine team, it was Kylian Mbappé. Leo is, without a doubt, 'Donatello's' best partner and the absence of '30' meant that the former AS Monaco player had practically no dangerous situations.

Although Mbappé managed to open the scoring, the reality is that he did it on a dirty play that led to a headed goal after a rebound off the crossbar. It should be remembered that Messi is PSG's best playmaker, so much so that he is the team's top assister with 15.

Messi and Mbappé share half of PSG's goals

Such is the influence of the two in the attack of the team led by Christophe Galtier that together they have scored half of PSG's goals in Ligue 1. In total, the championship leader has scored 78 goals, of which 24 are from Mbappé and 15 from Messi.
