Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Strasbourg played out an enthralling 3-3 draw on 29 April, with Lionel Messi yet again disappointing for Parisians.
PSG wrapped up the Ligue 1 title last Sunday with a 1-1 draw against Lens and were looking to get back to winning ways against Strasbourg.
Messi has been criticized this season for his lack of goals, with the Argentinian having scored just nine goals in all competitions so far.
He was once again under scrutiny for a performance that failed to convince the Parc des Princes faithful. Messi's closest strike came in the first-half through a 25th minute free-kick that sailed past Matz Sels goal.
Fans took to Twitter to share their reactions to yet another match where the legendary forward has failed to find the net this season. Here are some of their reactions:
Another disappointing outing for Lionel Messi in a pulsating 3-3 thriller between PSG and Strasbourg
Lionel Messi's poor run of goalscoring form this season continues with the Argentinian having only scored four goals in Ligue 1 this season.
His strike against Lens on April 23 proved to be the title-winning goal for the Parisians. However, it has been somewhat of an indifferent season for the former Barcelona star.
Kylian Mbappe has been by far PSG's most influential player this season, scoring 24 goals and and making 16 assists in the league so far. He was at his usual best during the 3-3 draw with Strasbourg as well.
The fifth-placed side came out all guns blazing against Paris St-Germain. Kevin Gameiro gave them an early lead in the second minute, lashing home from close range.
But Mbappe made an impact in the 23rd minute after good play from Neymar. The French star toe-poked through the legs of Matz Sels to draw PSG level. He was once again at the forefront of PSG's attack as his delightful cross allowed Achraf Hakimi to dispatch home from close range in the 64th minute.
Mbappe's inevitability once again took hold in the 68th minute as he capitalized on Alexander Dijku's mistake to put the Parisians 3-1 up.
But Strasbourg weren't willing to give up the game. They fought back through a Marco Veratti own goal in the 75th minute, giving them hope of an unlikely draw.
They then struck in the dying embers of the game as a cross from Dimitri Lienard fell to Anthony Caci, who placed home a 90+2 minute finish.
An entertaining affair with both sides eager to earn all three points, Strasbourg will be proud of their display.
For Messi, meanwhile, the criticism over his questionable debut season at the Parc des Princes continues.

Doesn't pass to Messi? Mbappe has 22 assists this season. Messi fans are still in delusion thinking Messi's 4th goal won PSG the Ligue 1 title. The fucking reality is Messi is a System player ( Barca system).

The most dangerous virus in this world are Messi's fans. Always blaming others, pitch, conditions for own failure. His network is totally disabled outside his farmhouse (Camp-Nou)..

Most people are just watching football because they want to watch Messi and Ronald scores every week 😂 😂, they don't know how to analyse football ⚽. The reason why Messi is struggling with this psg is because the team doesn't have any good style of football that they are known of, the team only depends on individual brilliance of their players but no team work, they need to sack this man, this team cannot win champions league with this kind of useless coach

I trust Messi fans 🤣, they will comes out with some shitty logics now to make Messi relevant, despite that everyone is aware that PSG won the league thanks to mbappe brilliance, and PSG lost the UCL to real Madrid thanks to Messi who failed to convert the most important penalty and followed it up with another lacklustre display at Santiago bernarbeu.

System player??? Get some sense idiots. The more you give ball to Messi, he will score more goals and his teammates will also score more. Just focus on how his teammates are playing now and then... They're not giving the back pass whenever they have to... Important thing is PSG teammates are not using Messi's talent. They're just playing as usual. don't give fu**ing excuse how Messi is winning now with national team. So, just give ball more and more to GOAT, you will see the magic.

😂😂😂😂 PSG are always in good form even before Messi arrived. And they are all qualified to play the match. United are good form in last season because of less injury, but this season Bruno, Rashford, Greenwood and Cavani are formless.

let him adapt to different systems of play with different coaches like Ronaldo does wen he changes clubs. he shdnt expect d club to change their style for him. PSG isn't Barcelona where they were playing for Messi, wat if his style doesn't suit other players..? he shs better rise up to his challenge
