Another weekend passed and Lionel Messi's adaptation to french soccer and PSG is evident. The argentinian striker scored a 3-point-worth goal against Olympique Lyon on sunday and showed, alongside his favorite partner on the pitch, Neymar, a performance for the week's highlights.
Messi only needed 5 minutes to open the scorecard. Unfortunately for Argentina's number ‘10’, Anthony Lopes denied his 2nd goal with an outstanding save after a perfectly executed free kick. However, Messi's highlights don't stop there.
