The first half of Ligue 1 is over, and for the newcomer Messi, only 1 league goal in half a season has been scored, which is by no means a wonderful start, and even one of the worst in his career.
In the first half of this season, 19 rounds of battles, Messi actually made 11 appearances for Paris, only scored 1 goal, but his number of shots on goal is quite a lot, reaching 43 times, averaging nearly 4 times per game, which shows that the goal conversion rate is really low.
You know, the last time Messi had such a poor half-court performance was in the 2005-06 season, when he scored 2 goals in 750 minutes, which is 1 more than the number of goals he has scored in 865 minutes now! At that time, Messi was only 18 years old.
Of course, luck did not take the side of Messi, he hit the goal frame 6 times, the most in Ligue 1 this season, the second most in the five major leagues in Europe, but the so-called "difference of a millimeter, a thousand miles lost", no goal, is no goal.
So what is the level of 1 goal in the half league? In the Grand Paris team, only tied for tenth place! The top scorer was Kylian Mbappe, with 9 goals. The second scorer was substitute center Icardi, who scored four goals.
Neymar and Di Maria both recorded three goals, along with right-back Ashraf, defender Herrera and Gaie at the back, and centre-back Makinhos. Then there was Draxler, who scored 2 goals. Then there's Messi, who is also tied with Wijnaldum and Danilo Pereira.
In the entire Ligue 1 top scorer list, Messi is outside the 100th place, tied for 101st place. The current top scorer is Jonathan David of Lille, scoring 12 goals. Another double-digit scorer was Monaco's Ben Yedder, with 10 goals.
