On Sunday night, Lionel Messi delivered one of his most memorable performances of the season as Paris Saint-Germain defeated Angers 2-1 in Ligue 1. The Argentine superstar scored three goals, including two assists, which helped PSG secure their fourth win of the campaign. Messi's first goal came in the 46th minute, when he converted a penalty kick after being fouled by Angers defender Benjamin Kone. The following half-hour saw him dominate the game, scoring twice more, making it a hat-trick for the Argentinian. His second goal was a beautiful strike from outside the box that deflected off an Angers player before finding the back of the net. And his third goal was a stunning bicycle kick that found the top corner of the Angers net. In addition to his impressive goal-scoring record, Messi also provided an assist for Neymar on PSG's second goal of the match. The Brazilian forward received the ball from Thiago Silva in the midfield, dribbled past several defenders, and then played a perfect cross to Messi, who finished with a simple shot into the net. The victory over Angers is PSG's fourth consecutive win of the season, and they now sit at the top of the Ligue 1 table with 17 points. Messi has been in excellent form this season, scoring 19 goals and providing 12 assists in just 15 games. He is currently leading the race for the Ligue 1 Golden Boot award, and his performances against Angers have only solidified his place as one of the best players in the world. |
