How Leo Messi proved that he is the best playmaker in PSG's team

After dropping their first points of the season against AS Monaco last Sunday after only managing a 1-1 draw at home, the all-powerful Paris Saint-Germain bounced back against Toulouse in the fifth round of Ligue 1: they won 3-0 with a great performance from their attacking trident.

Messi provided two sensational assists for the first two goals of the match, scored by Neymar and Mbappé. And Juan Bernat rounded off the scoring to keep the French capital club at the top of the table with 13 points, along with Olympique Marseille and Lens.

The Parisian team took to the field with the aim of overcoming the first poor challenge. With the return of Vitinha (a key partner of the trident at the start of the season), Verratti as the lead midfielder, the fullbacks in wing mode and a lot of mobility, the visitors created countless goal-scoring opportunities against a team that only pressed when PSG came out of the goal. After that, they concentrated on keeping their players behind the ball and appealing to the counterattack.

Although at the beginning the team seemed a bit stuck, Messi gave a perfect pass to leave Neymar facing the goal to define perfectly to open the scoring.

Messi proved to be the key to PSG's success.

If it wasn't for the Toulouse goalkeeper Messi would have scored at least 3 goals in addition to his assists. He proved to be PSG's best player and the playmaker for the team.
