Lionel Messi scored for PSG in their 1-1 draw vs. Benfica

Messi has now scored in his last six games. He has eight goals in his last six games for PSG and the Argentina national team.

With the score at 0-0, it was a great team goal by PSG with Messi scoring from the edge of the penalty area, placing the ball into the top corner to give PSG the 1-0 lead.

The Argentine scored vs. Maccabi Haifa and Lyon before scoring two goals against Honduras and two against Jamaica with Argentina.

He would score against OGC Nice and now with Benfica with PSG. He now has two goals and one assist in the Champions League.

With his goal against Benfica, he has now scored against 40 different teams in the Champions League. A record which was previously held by himself.

An alarm bell went off as he was substituted off for PSG. Unofficial reports are that he may have some discomfort.

  1. This could be a story out of thin air, to justify why you’d remove your best player, the man who’s already scored, with 10 minutes remaining in the game. It’s a stunning decision and I don’t know where people got it that he requested to be subbed. Possibly but I doubt. Messi never ever liked to be removed, no player does but this crap of a Coach has made it a habit. If there was visible exchange it’s most likely Messi telling him “I’m fine, I’m good to go”. Messi could have had a brace. Despite all that he’s clearly taking over as PSG best player in the last few games.

    • I don’t think we should care if he scores a brace or not for PSG. Important thing is he is alright nd until the world cup, I’m fine he is subbed after 70 minutes.

    • It did seem like Galtier had gone completely crazy but as per news Messi requested to be subbed off as he was exhausted. You are right,only a fool would sub out Messi for Sarabira or Sarabia when their team needs a goal.

  2. I don’t want to hear that! i watched him come off and he seemed fine but did notice what looked like a staff member having a chat with him on the bench.

  3. Messi feeling discomfort and asked to sub off..hope he okay
    Good game for messi, Ota.. Enzo had also good game but not up to the mundo hype.. Looks slow and commit some faul just for slowness.. But positive attitude..Scoloni take him or not i must go with scoloni

        • You’ve historically shown yourself to hate Enzo for months now. His name wasn’t mentioned for a couple of weeks at one and then you were going on about “what happened to everyone’s darling boy Enzo” or something along those lines.
