On the morning of May 28, Messi scored to help PSG draw 1-1 with Strasbourg, thereby becoming the Ligue 1 champion one round early.
59 minutes, Lionel Messi received the ball in the penalty area from Kylian Mbappe’s cross. The Argentine superstar hit a precise cross-angle shot, opening the scoring for PSG after a long stalemate.
In addition to the important goal, Messi also impressed with the situation that put Mbappe in a favorable position in the 70th and 85th minutes. However, the French player could not take advantage when in front of only the goalkeeper.
PSG squandered the opportunity only to be equalized by the hosts after Kevin Gameiro’s shot. However, the draw was enough for Christophe Galtier’s teachers and students to become Ligue 1 champions 2022/23. At this time, “Le Parisien” is 4 points ahead of Lens while the season has only one round left. On the side of Strasbourg, the host also successfully relegated.
Messi helped PSG successfully defend the Ligue 1 crown and was also voted the best player of the match. 82 touches, 3 passes created chances, 100% accurate long passes, one goal are the statistics of the former Barcelona captain.
Messi closed two seasons with PSG with 3 titles including 2 Ligue 1, a National Super Cup. French and Spanish press simultaneously reported that the World Cup champion will not continue to stick with PSG after the contract expires in June. “El Pulga” is considering two stops including Barcelona and Al Hilal.
The Saudi Arabia club has just invited Messi with a salary of up to half a billion euros per season, more than twice what Cristiano Ronaldo is receiving at Al Nassr.
