Messi – Mbappé: a society that already brings joy to PSG and excites with the first Champions

Rumors of a bad relationship between Leo Messi and Kylian Mbappe, which emerged at the beginning of the season, were not true at all. The Argentine star and the Frenchman understand each other perfectly both on the field and off it. In fact, that fearsome duo is already bringing joy to the PSGlike the recent 3-1 win over Saint-Étienneand expectations are now high for what they can achieve together for their team in the 2021/22 Champions League.

A goal from Denis Bouanga at 16 minutes put the PSG in the Parc des Princes, but fortunately those who had to appear at the right time appeared.

In the recent league game, Leo’s two assists went for Kylian’s two goals. This news is already becoming customary lately.

Seeing them together is exquisite. And it is that Messi not only puts the goal passes for Mbappé to score them, but this also works vice versa. Without a doubt, between the two they are his best partners in the face of the rival goal.

Not a minor fact is that the ’30’ and ‘7’ of the Parisian squad are leaders in assists in Ligue 1 with 10 each.

The same happens if we look further down the table: Dimitri Payet (Marseille) and Jonathan Clauss (Lens) close the podium with nine assists, the first in 22 games and the second in 24; that is, they have fewer assists with many more games played than Messi.

Gaëtan Laborde and Martin Terrier from Lens close the podium with 13 goals.

Be that as it may, it is important to recognize that the partnership Messi – Mbappé is having positive results at PSG. Each time that passes, both cracks understand each other better and this, in the long run, can be very beneficial for the Parisian club, which wants to win the first Champions League in its history and that is why it has invested many millions. A complicated challenge is approaching at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid and it is quite important that this duo formed between the Argentine and the French continues to function perfectly.
