In the early morning of April 10, Beijing time, the 31st round of Ligue 1, Paris won 6-1 away to Clermont, MMN not only scored 6 goals in a game, but also created 3 hat tricks, of which Neymar and Mbappe scored a hat-trick, Messi staged an assist hat-trick, which was really MMN full bloom.
Paris 6-1 Clermont also set two new records!
Messi became the first person to score a hat-trick twice in a season in Ligue 1 in the last 10 years.
Neymar and Mbappe wear hats at the same time, which became the first time in three years that a player from the same team has scored a hat-trick with two players in the same game. The last time Ligue 1 was in a 9-0 Guingamp match in Paris on 19 January 2019, in which mbappe and Cavani both scored hat-tricks.
Is the 34-year-old Messi really not okay?
No! Messi went from Barca to Paris in the summer window last year, and his role in the new team changed, from a finisher to an auxiliary, or a pie king, which is also due to Messi's personality. Paris 6-1 Clermont, Messi scored assists and hats, allowing the Argentine superstar to score 16 goals in the last 15 Ligue 1 games, including 3 goals and a staggering 13 assists.
Messi is second in the Ligue 1 assist list, behind Kylian Mbappe with 14 assists and third in the entire top five leagues, behind Muller (16 assists) and Mbappe.
A player who can rank third in assists in the entire five major leagues is definitely OK, and messi is now more like a front waist, a midfielder who can make cakes.
