This Tuesday the Champions League returns and it does so with a real great match of those that raise passions. PSG hosts Real Madrid in the first leg of the round of 16, a tie between two greats and with a lot of morbidity. Ramos will be reunited with his teammates, although it remains to be seen if he plays or not, and Mbappé could face his new team.
The Frenchman attracts a good part of the looks, but also Leo Messi and it is that Real Madrid is one of the Argentine’s favorite victims. Until now, Messi had only faced the whites with the Barça shirt and he did so 45 times, winning 19 games and scoring 26 goals.
On Tuesday, Messi will face Madrid again, although this time he is not at his best. And it seems that it is costing him much more than expected to adapt to PSG and his numbers so far are very far from that Messi who danced to the white team at will and who made more than one Madridista so angry with the goals of he.
Since joining PSG, La Puga has played 19 games in all competitions and has only managed to find the net seven times: two in Ligue 1 and five in the Champions League, where he is more successful. He has also dished out eight assists, all of them in the domestic championship. The Argentine has participated in 15 of the 71 goals of his team; that is, 21.12%.
Messi is not at his best, or at least that’s what the numbers say, but playing against Madrid is always a motivation and even more so for a player like him who knows what it’s like to beat them and make the Bernabéu his own ground. And besides, the connection with Mbappé is working better and better.
