In the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain had just defeated Manchester City.Lionel Messi scored a fantastic goal in the 2-0triumph at home on Tuesday evening, but the Argentine forward will have to wait for a while moreto get his mark on the French league.It was Kylian Mbappe whoset up Messi’s goal against City, and there were encouraging hints that the “MNM” trioof Mbappe, Neymar, Messi, were improving their understanding.
After missing two Ligue 1 games due to a knee injury, the 34-year-old was named to the starting lineup with Neymar, Mbappe, and Angel Di Maria for only his second league start for PSG. Messi, however, came close to scoring in the French league,squanderinga scoring chance by hitting the crossbar after a free-kick.
Thus, the Parisians’ winning streakhas come to an end. Rennes beat PSG 2-0 at home to deliverMauricio Pochettino’s side their first league setback of the season, ending PSG’s eight-match winning streak in Ligue 1. Messi will hope to finally break the “curse” once he returns from the South American 2022 World Cup Qualifiers.
