The Blaugrana legend has hit top form with three goals and two assists in just three Ligue 1 games. However, the previous season seemed to stump the forward, who struggled to score goals in the domestic league. Messi's overall poor showing even saw him excluded from the recently-released prestigious 30-man Ballon d'Or shortlist. With his explosive form now in full swing, PSG fans believe that former manager Mauricio Pochettino was the reason for Lionel Messi's struggles when he first moved to the Parc des Princes. While there is no certainty that this is the case, the Argentine maestro's uptick in form since Christophe Galtier took charge is rather noteworthy. The Parisian faithful believe that Pochettino, who was sacked after a sub-par Champions League outing, is to blame, and they have taken to Twitter to share their opinions. Here is a selection of some of their tweets: @10blendedPochettino really managed to make Messi look bad that’s gotta be the most impressive achievement in the history of mankind2448363Pochettino really managed to make Messi look bad that’s gotta be the most impressive achievement in the history of mankind EiF@EiFSoccerMessi looking like Messi, Neymar looking like Neymar, Hakimi looking like Hakimi, Mendes looking like Mendes, and the list goes on and on.Galtier is putting players in positions to succeed where as Poch did not.

Raj Chohan@rajsinghchohanYh I think they ware. As much as I like Poch, the failure to use 3-4-3 regularly was very poor. It suits everyone from the CBs, wing-backs and even reducing the defensive burden for Messi, Neymar & Mbappé. Only thing is a Vitinha-Verratti pivot may get shredded vs an elite team. twitter.com/muhamedcurri/s…Muhamed Curri@MuhamedCurri@rajsinghchohan Do you think PSG are serious CL contenders this season?

Christophe Galtier’s side were too much for Les Dogues and they came away with a big victory at the expense of their hosts. The Parisians opened the scoring through Kylian Mbappe in just 8 seconds after a wonderful assist from Lionel Messi. The Argentine maestro then found the back of the net in the 28th minute, linking well with Nuno Mendes to add the second goal. Achraf Hakimi grabbed a third for the visitors in the 39th minute after being played in by Neymar. The Brazilian also got on the scoresheet in the first half with his strike in the 43rd minute. Neymar continued where he left off, bagging a brace in the 52nd minute, with Hakimi returning the favor and turning provider this time. Jonathan Bamba got one back for the hosts in the 54th minute to make it 5-1, but it was too little too late. Neymar laid on another assist for Mbappe to make it 6-1 on the night, and the Frenchman bagged a hat-trick late in the game to make it 7-1. PSG will be proud of their performance against one of the teams expected to challenge them for the title. Lille will hope they can improve after this disappointing performance.
