However, Trossard secured his hat-trick in the 83rd minute to snatch a point for the high-flying Seagulls. Following their worst start to a campaign in the top-flight under Klopp, the German tactician asked if his squad is lacking in confidence right now. Klopp had an interesting response and referenced Messi and Ronaldo. He said (via ): "Do you think Cristiano Ronaldo at the moment is at the top of his confidence? It happens to all of us. Lionel Messi last season pretty much the same. You have to take a step in the right direction and when you're ready, it's back [the confidence]." "In individual sports, you can fight yourself through it. In a team sport, you have to do it together. It can be more complicated." Ronaldo struck 18 times for Manchester United last season on his sensational return to Old Trafford. Meanwhile, Messi, who joined PSG from Barcelona, struggled to adapt and scored only six top-flight goals. This season, however, the shoe is on the other foot. The Argentine is firing at all cylinders with PSG, racing to seven goals already while his old rival has notched just one so far.
