Influential from the GOAT Stop him if you can - PSG fans wowed by Lionel Messi s incredible display in 3-1 win against Maccabi Haifa

By Aditya Singh Modified 15 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Lionel Messi helps PSG to a 3-1 win over Maccabi Haifa Fans were in awe of yet another majestic Lionel Messi performance for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this season. He was exceptional in their 3-1 win over Maccabi Haifa in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, September 14, at the Sammy Ofer Stadium. The Argentine scored one goal and assisted another as the Parisians secured their second win in the competition this season. The hosts surprisingly took the lead in the 24th minute through Tjaronn Chery. They put the ball in the back of the net a second time as well, but it was chalked off for offside. After that, PSG's star man took over. Messi scored from close quarters in the 37th minute. He received a deflected low cross from Kylian Mbappe, delivered from the left byline. The duo then exchanged roles as the Argentine put in a brilliant through ball for the Frenchman to give the Parisians the lead in the 69th minute. Neymar Jr. got in the act in the 88th minute as he scored via a Marco Verratti assist to secure all three points for the visitors. Messi has now been incredibly involved in multiple goals in all away games so far this season. He has scored five goals and provided eight assists in 10 games for PSG across all competitions. Fans were clearly delighted to see yet another prolific performance from the five-time Ballon d'Or winner and took to Twitter to heap praise on him.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is the highest assist provider in 2022 in Europe's top five leagues with 20. The Argentina captain has clearly put his underwhelming first season at PSG behind him. Messi moved to Paris on a free transfer after leaving Barcelona last summer. He scored 11 goals and provided 15 assists in 34 matches across competitions for the Parisians last season.

Lionel Messi breaks multiple records as PSG lead Group H

The former Barcelona talisman has now scored against 39 different teams in the Champions League, one more than Cristiano Ronaldo, who has done it against 38. He also has the most goals plus assists (1,112) for club and country and has surpassed Pele, who has 1,111 goals and assists. Messi has also scored in most consecutive Champions League seasons (18). PSG will hope the Argentine's fine form continues as they look to lift their maiden European trophy. After two wins from two, they lead Group H, level on points with second-placed Benfica. Juventus and Maccabi Haifa occupy third and fourth places, respectively, with both on zero points. The Parisians will next face Olympique Lyon in Ligue 1 on Sunday, September 18. The Argentine superstar might have more dazzling plays in store. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Akshay Saraswat × Feedback Thank You!
