Lionel Messi hasn't hit the ground running at Paris Saint-Germain.

The Argentine made the sensational move from Barcelona to PSG in the summer after failing to extend his 21-year stay at Camp Nou.

Before Mauricio Pochettino's side took on Lyon on Sunday night, Messi hadn't scored in his first two appearances for his new club.

He made his debut after coming on as a second half substitute in a 2–0 away win against Reims last month.

After the international break disrupted his first few weeks at the Parc des Princes, Messi made his first start in midweek in the Champions League clash against Club Brugge. However, it didn't go to plan with the French side only managed a 1-1 draw with Messi largely ineffective.
And it wasn't third time lucky for Messi either against Lyon at the Parc des Princes

PSG struggled in the first half but went within inches of taking the lead when Messi struck the crossbar with a terrific free-kick.

It would be as close as the Argentine went on his home debut.

It was actually Lyon who took the lead in the second half as Lucas Paqueta fired past Gianluigi Donnarumma.

However, PSG were soon level. Neymar went down under the challenge of Jason Denayer and, while replays appeared to show the Brazilian fouled the defender in the first place, a penalty was awarded.

Would Neymar allow Messi to score his first PSG goal on his first match at the Parc des Princes? No chance.

Neymar stepped up and equalised for his side.

Game on.

However, it wasn't game on for Messi.

Ten minutes after Neymar's equaliser, Pochettino decided to substitute Messi with PSG looking to win the match. It was a strange decision and Messi didn't look particularly pleased.

In fact, some fans accused Messi of ignoring Pochettino's handshake as he walked off the pitch.

Messi is still searching for his first goal and assist in Paris.

Meanwhile the true G.O.A.T is still scoring for fun in toughest league in the world.

Lol pessi cocksuckerś were abusing ronaldo when he scored a brace against newcastle and now look their fraud midget cant even score against farmers

Unnecessary from Pochettino if Messi was playing well.
Messi needs game time to gel with his team mates and he needs games like this to do just that.

Ronaldo was subtituted against young boys when man u was 10 men down and drawing the match,you all used that opportunity to discredit him .

But when Messi is inthe picture,he suddenly need game time in a league rated 6th among other top European leagues ?

If it were Ronaldo with goal drought ever since going to Manchester this season, you all would have roast him alive !
Funny enough,despite scoring 4 goals already,they ,the haters,and the midget lovers,are still trolling him .
If you're big , you're big .

I am a Ronaldo fan.
But all this things you dey cap na trash.
And your language sounds gutter and garbage.

Messi is finished. We all knew that Barca made him look extraordinary and now PSG can't replicate same for him.

If it was Ronaldo, Messi favs will tag him as arrogant and worth not. Overated player.

Ronaldo was subbed and Manchester United loss to young boys while PSG won when they subbed Messi. I know my Goat please.

Messi actually made Barca look extraordinary. If he was so desperate to score today he would have taken the pk. Goals shall come

It was the freekick for me, though it hit the bar. Messi should pls stay away from tap ins & penalties. Goat takes freekicks only.
Poch should more often play Messi in between Neymar and mbappe than the wings so he could wreck havock playing from the center. Ronaldo is now playing more in the box for tap ins than when he used to play in the wing. He was busy crying for a penalty until Lingard showed him how to score a very good goal. The old fraud needs to grow up.

How true?

Messi stats in three games for PSG, 3000 dribbles, 4000 nutmeg, 1000 hit the bar, 2000 shot on target 0 goals 0 assist
