In this game, Mbappe's two goals were all assisted by Messi. This year, he has contributed 6 assists in the league, the highest number of assists of any player in the big five leagues. After a period of adaptation, Messi has become more and more familiar with Ligue 1. Arguably, the best Messi has returned.
As we all know, Tottenham's Kane and Son Heung-min are called golden partners. In Greater Paris, there is now a pair of such a pair: Mbappe and Messi. According to statistics, Messi has contributed 7 goals and 10 assists since joining Paris, and 6 of the 7 goals are related to Mbappe. Messi, on the other hand, has had a total of 10 assists this season, four of which were dedicated to Mbappe.
In this match, Mbappe set two more records: the first, he scored 156 goals for Paris in all competitions, equalizing Ibrahimovic and ranking second in team history; the second, with 121 goals in the league, became the first player since Raul in 2001 to score 120 goals before the age of 24. Mbappe, who is only 23 years old this year, has a bright future. If you maintain good health and no major injuries, the heights it can reach may catch up with Messi and C Ronaldo.
Mbappe and Messi are in such good form, do you think the second leg of the battle between Paris and Real Madrid, the latter still has many chances of winning? You know, Messi is very familiar with the Bernabeu. As long as Paris does not faint on its own, it is likely to eliminate Real Madrid into the Top 8 of the Champions League - after all, the first leg was won 1-0.
Mbappe is likely to leave after the season. For Greater Paris and Pochettino, as well as Messi and Neymar, we should seize the opportunity to join forces with Kylian Mbappe to win the Champions League this season.
