LIONEL MESSI NEWS

Takes four shots versus Marseille Messi had four shots (two on target), two dribbles and two corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw to Marseille.

Impact Messi turned in another underwhelming in terms of performance outing only this time he couldn't even find the back of the net despite taking another great number of shots. With three goals on 15 shots over his past four outings though it seems like he's slowly finding his feet in Paris again.

Impact Messi was again a bit quiet for a while but then again Messi became Messi in the second half and stole the show with a quick brace. He was smart enough to follow his shot that bounced off the post and put it home with an easy tap in and then bagged the winner with a cold-blooded Panenka from the spot. The maestro has now fired in three scores in as many outings and seems to be gaining some momentum after a quiet start of his PSG career.
