The French press has been in charge of systematically discrediting Lionel Messi since his arrival at PSG. After two seasons at the Parisian club, Leo will leave France and, if one is guided by the criticism of the local media, he would give the impression that his step was bad. However, as Cristiano Ronaldo once said, the statistics do not lie.

In the last few hours, some averages based on Messi's performance this season were released. To the surprise of some, the Argentine far surpasses Kylian Mbappé, a world-class star who is sometimes overprotected by French newspapers.

The account @ messi10_rey displayed the scoring averages of both L'Equipe and Sofa Score, and in both the captain of the Argentine team is above 'Donatello'. In the first, the 'Flea' is second with 6.41 points, above Mbappé's 5.76, which places him in 15th place. On the other hand, in the second portal mentioned, Lionel leads the list with 8.15, five places above Kylian, who averages 7.42.

How many goals has Messi generated in the current season?

If you add the 15 that he scored plus the 15 assists he provided, Leo made PSG add 30 goals in the 2022/23 campaign. When comparing him with Mbappé, the man from Rosario also surpasses him, since the Frenchman registers 23 shouts and five goal passes.
