Another sensational strike went for a goal and the scorer was none other than the GOAT Lionel Messi. The goal came for PSG against Benfica on October 5 and has now been declared as the UEFA Champions League goal of the group stage.
During their away match against Benfica, Messi contacted with Kylian Mbappe and Neymar before scoring with an incredible left-hand curling effort. The ball was played from Messi to Mbappe, who then gave it to Neymar. A stylish victory over Odysseas Vlachodimos was achieved by the Argentine who was found by the Brazilian on the edge of the penalty area.
It has now been determined that the goal is the best from the group stage. A 1-1 draw was the result of the away game versus Benfica. Despite being tied with Benfica, PSG could only place second in their group. Both clubs finished with 14 points, but the Portuguese giants became a tool for Lionel Messi's squad by scoring more away goals.
But overall our GOAT had a GREAT individual campaign during the UEFA Champions League group stage. He picked up four goals and four assists at the same time in five matches. This season, Lionel Messi has had an amazing overall record. The Argentine has thus far scored 12 goals and provided 14 assists in 18 games played in all competitions.
In the tournament's round of 16, Bayern Munich will face the Parisians. The first match between the two gigantic European teams will be played on February 14 at Parc des Princes. On March 8, the second leg will be held at the Allianz Arena.
The PSG attacker recently spoke with Ole about what he's learned from competing in four World Cups so far in his career: "Well, in the first one I was very young. I enjoyed it and at the same time, I had the innocence and the anger of wanting to play, of wanting more. On the one hand, it's good and on the other hand, I missed out on a lot of things just thinking about it.”
