Incredible goal from Messi, exciting. So silly, the movement in the back is great. The pass from Leandro Paredes has the quality but Messi’s touch and agility to finish this out of this world. 5-0 PSG, some good goals but that’s the best of the group.

Another added: “An incredible goal from Messi, exciting. Absolutely ridiculous, the movement in the back is great.
“The pass from Leandro Paredes is the quality but Messi’s touch and agility to finish this out of this world.”
Messi scored just six goals in Ligue 1 last season, but it already looks like he will have much more success in his second year in France.
He hopes to continue his excellent form when PSG returns to play against Montpellier on Saturday.
