Another head-turning statistic surrounding the latest endeavours of Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi has come to the fore late on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n
Messi, of course, guided his side back into action a short time ago.<\/p>\n
Fresh off a much-needed return to winning ways at Montpellier in midweek, the French champions welcomed Toulouse to Paris, hopeful of extending their advantage atop the Ligue 1 table.<\/p>\n
And, when all was said and done, make it two wins on the spin is precisely what Christophe Galtier\u2019s troops went on to do.<\/p>\n
In the absence of both Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, the aforementioned Messi, unsurprisingly, proved himself the star of the show.<\/p>\n
After Achraf Hakimi had pulled PSG level late in the first-half, the club\u2019s talismanic no.10 produced a trademark moment of magic, to decide the clash as a contest just shy of the hour mark.<\/p>\n
Picked out on the edge of the visitors\u2019 penalty area, Messi made no mistake in bending a sumptuous left-footed effort inside the far post:<\/p>\n
And yet, it is not the Argentine\u2019s latest goalscoring efforts which have in fact taken their place centre stage online post-match on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Instead, the focus has shifted towards his creative exploits.<\/p>\n
This comes with it having been revealed that Messi, today, became the first player to notch at least 6 key passes and 6 completed dribbles in a single match in the top 5 European leagues this season.<\/p>\n
