Lionel Messi finally breaks his chains and scores his first goal with PSG in the league

Lionel Messi was probably starting to find the time long. The Parisian supporters too, even though they still only have the eyes of love for him. If he had already warmed hearts in the Champions League (3 goals), the Argentine had not yet scored in our national championship. Almost a heresy. But, against Nantes, the Pulga has resumed its good habits. Marking is like riding a bike, you can’t forget it.

However, within a few minutes, it would probably have been necessary to count a new game without a goal for the ex-machine of Barça. PSG led sluggishly against the Canaries (2-1) when, in the 87th minute, Messi made the Messi: fixation, hook and shot wound as dry as precise. A classic seen over and over again in La Liga, a novelty in Ligue 1 …

“I’m happy with this first goal, I really wanted to”, he said at the microphone of Amazon Prime. PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino specifies that his star player was not worried about not having found the net in the league. “VShe is a great champion, the best player in the world, he knows how to go through the most difficult times, he has patience. And it’s good that he scored “, he concluded. This goal, the first after 19 unsuccessful first attempts that did not meet Argentina’s standards, will undoubtedly unlock him once and for all. The timing, if it turns out to be correct, would come right on time with the trip to Manchester City on Wednesday.
