After the 23rd round of Ligue 1, the title advantage of Greater Paris became more and more obvious. Especially in the 23rd round, after Paris beat Lille 5-1, they have led Marseille by as many as 13 points behind them. It can be said that Paris has no opponents in Ligue 1 at present. In addition, Messi also scored a goal and an assist in this game, and his outbreak will undoubtedly make Real Madrid sweat. Because in 5 days, Paris will play the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals with Real Madrid.
How good is Messi in this game? We can briefly review it. This match with Lille, in terms of strength, the opponent is not the opponent of the Greater Paris at all. Their only advantage is playing at home. In this match, Messi was placed by Pochettino in the middle of Mbappe and Di Maria. This location, for Messi, is undoubtedly a good place. In particular, his cooperation with his national teammate Di Maria is very tacit.
In the 33rd minute of the match, Messi helped Paris to score the second goal. His pass was just right, and after Kimpembe got the ball, he easily scored it. Just five minutes later, Messi scored a goal himself. Helping Paris lock in a 3-1 advantage in the first half. After scoring in this game, Messi has scored seven goals in Paris, along with eight assists.
In addition, in this game, Greater Paris, led by Messi, attacked like a tide. A total of 17 shots were fired in the whole game, which were converted into 5 goals, such an attacking firepower, I don't know if Real Madrid will be afraid?
On the 16th of this month, Paris will be at home for the first leg of the Champions League match against Real Madrid. For Carlo Ancelotti, this is his biggest challenge to real Madrid. Judging from the past battle records, Real Madrid is better than Paris at the Champions League level, and the psychological advantage is more obvious. But today's Greater Paris is no longer what it used to be. Messi's presence will give the Parisian players more peace of mind to focus on eating cakes and engaging in games.
