When Messi left Barca to join Paris Saint-Germain, many people were able to play more comfortably, because the overall level of Ligue 1 was not as good as La Liga, and Paris Saint-Germain was far stronger than other teams. But contrary to expectations, Messi's performance was a great disappointment. Messi has made 12 league appearances this season, scoring just one goal, but with five assists. Messi set a career-embarrassing record: the fewest goals scored in the same period in the top league of his career. Messi's goal came in the paris saint-germain match against Nantes, when Messi scored in the 86th minute, and Messi also made a oolong ball in that game, which was very good. Messi played another game in the league to a very high level, that is, the match against Saint-Etienne, in which Messi gave 3 assists. Of course, Messi's role on the pitch is not only based on goals and assists, his orchestration and passing threats can enhance the team's attack.
Although Messi's performance in the league was not good, he had a very good performance in the Champions League, playing 5 group games and scoring 5 goals. In the first leg between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, Messi scored an extraordinary goal. In the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Leipzig, Messi scored two goals to help the team win. In Paris Saint-Germain's big victory over Bruges, Messi also scored twice. Obviously, Messi's matches in the Champions League are even more brilliant. Perhaps he is more familiar with the rhythm of the Champions League, and the kind of physical confrontation in Ligue 1 makes Messi not very adaptable. Messi still needs more time to get back in his best form in Ligue 1.
Messi had returned to Barcelona before this and met with Barca boss Xavi, which made people wonder. However, Galardo, the editor-in-chief of Marca, said it was just a gathering of friends and had nothing to do with other factors. Because it was Harvey's birthday, Messi had dinner with players such as Alba and Busquets. This is a situation that was arranged a long time ago. Not sure what they talked about when they were together. As we all know, Barca are now in trouble, and even if Xavi takes over the team, it will not give the team a substantial promotion. Barca have been out of the game on many fronts, the Champions League group stage has not been able to qualify, the Spanish Super Cup semi-final was eliminated, the Copa del Rey 1/8 final was eliminated, the league is 15 points behind Real Madrid, it can be said that it is unbearable. If Messi had been at Barca, the team certainly wouldn't have been so bad. After dinner with Messi, will Xavi be able to get Barca back on track?
