Lionel Messi has been left out of the Ligue 1 Team of the Year for the 2021-22 season after struggling to make an impact at Paris Saint-Germain.

Messi joined the French giants in the summer after leaving Barcelona. However, since his arrival he has scored just one goal and registered five assists in ten league matches.

The 34-year-old has also been overshadowed by his PSG team-mate Kylian Mbappe and has subsequently been left out of Football Observatory's prolific XI.

Neymar - who has been plagued by injuries and struggled to find the back of the net - has also been left out of the Team of the Year for the 2021-22 season so far.

Meanwhile, the likes of Achraf Hakimi - who joined the club in the same transfer window as Messi - claimed a space in the squad, taking the right wingback position.

Presnel Kimpembe and Idrissa Gueye have also impressed over the first half of the season for Mauricio Pochettino's side and secured a place in the XI.

Marseille's star player, Dimitri Payet, also landed a place in the team after scoring 13 goals in 14 games.

Manchester United's transfer target Kamara has impressed enough this season to warrant a place in team.

United regard Kamara as a ready-made replacement for Paul Pogba, should the midfielder leave as a free agent next summer as expected.

The youngster is on the verge of running down his deal and could be available for free at the end of the season, should he fail to agree fresh terms with Marseille.

Although, Kamara rejected deadline-day moves to Wolves and Newcastle United in the most recent market.
Arsenal outcast William Saliba has also proved his worth - having landed a place on the prolific XI after being sent out on loan by the Gunners.

The 20-year-old, who is currently on loan at Marseille in Ligue 1, has established himself as key player under manager Jorge Sampaoli.

Saliba has made 21 appearances in all competitions so far this season, and been a consistent performer at the heart of the defence.

If them dey read and understand sef, they'd know there's no debate whatsoever anymore.
Even publications that are sympathetic to Ronaldo like Sky Sports, B/R Football, ESPN and they rest will only ever say "Ronaldo is one of the greatest in football history". While for Messi, it's written " Arguably the greatest to ever play football".
That's how they will be remembered when they both hang their boots. If He likes make he score 2000 goals, play in 20 different leagues, He will end up as one of the best.
Messi can stop playing now and will still be regarded as arguably the greatest ever.

Jokerman:
Messi played trash this year... so it's expected... this is not where Di Maria will carry you, and the you'd still win award...

Messi will come hotter next year though....

You better have a purpose in life

You are hating on Greatness

The Greatest footballer to grace the earth, living or dead

Create useless topics on Ronaldo giving out bricks or auctioning shirts, just to make your idol look good...

And anything to make Messi look bad

Your insecurities won't change the fact, that Messi will forever be greater than cr7

As if Ronaldo will make EPL team of the year

tesppidd:


Messi has not even played up to 3 months out of 12 months in Ligue 1 this year, how is he supposed to make the team of the year?

There are roughly 38 Ligue 1 matches in a year and Messi didn't play up to12. Lol.
