At 3 o'clock in the morning on September 29, Beijing time, Messi finally reaped the rewards after playing an exquisite wall-coordination with and Mbappe in the front court. After joining the "Grand Paris", he made his first goal and helped Paris beat Manchester City 2-0 at home. After the game, Messi wrote excitedly on the social platform: "I am very happy to win in such a difficult game and score the first goal. I hope to score more goals!!"
And Paris's This victory also successfully completed the "revenge". In the Champions League last season, Paris was "double play" by Manchester City at home and away, stopping in the semi-finals. This season, the two sides met again. Messi, who had just missed two Ligue 1 games due to injury in the previous period, returned from this battle. He joined Mbappe and Neymar to form a striker "trident" starting together.
It can be seen that Messi is very serious about the first game after returning from injury. In stoppage time in the second half, Manchester City got a free kick. When defending, Messi even lay down behind the wall to act as a ground ball defender, which is really rare. Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand also joked about this: "If I were in the team, I would definitely say Messi don't do this, let me come."
However, after joining Paris, Messi's state seems to be Not as hot as in Barcelona, he has not scored a goal in the previous 3 games. Even in the Champions League against Bruges, Messi, who played all the way, also failed to make a difference.
From the familiar La Liga to the unfamiliar Ligue 1, Messi's start in the latter is somewhat unsatisfactory. La Liga, which emphasizes skills at the foot, and La Liga, which promotes team cooperation, appear to be very different in terms of playing style. Coming to Paris, Messi has to face Neymar, Mbappé, and Icardi . The new team, new environment and new tactics have become Messi's "blockers" in his Paris career. In fact, in the 4 games Messi played,There were many chances to score goals, but none of them scored. In the previous game against Lyon, Messi’s iconic arc free kick hit the crossbar and the goal post, and the goal was blocked by the door frame.
Many people compare Messi with Ronaldo . After returning to Manchester United, Ronaldo completed the double ring in his first show, helping the team beat Newcastle United 4:1. However, from the perspective of strength analysis, the strengths of the two opponents are quite different. In addition, Messi was hit in his left knee in the last round of Ligue 1 and was diagnosed with a bone contusion. This also allows him to play on the spot. Scruples.
Players and the new team will always have a running-in process. Messi successfully scored his first goal, which is undoubtedly a good start. Whether he can regain his invincibility at Barcelona requires the patience of fans.
