Georginio Wijnaldum snatched a late goal for Paris Saint-Germain to draw at Lens 1-1 after goalkeeper Keylor Navas made a big blunder during their enthralling French league game on Saturday.
The league leaders looked set for their second loss until the Dutch midfielder jumped higher than his marker in added time to head home a pinpoint cross from Kylian Mbappe.
PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino's substitutions proved decisive as Mbappe and Wijnaldum came in for the last 20 minutes.
In front of a buoyant crowd at Stade Felix Bollaert, Lens played with pace and flair but missed a cutting edge until Seko Fofana broke the stalemate in the 62nd minute.
PSG looked disorganized most of the time. Lionel Messi, who was awarded a record-extending seventh Ballon d'Or this week, hit the woodwork in the first half and could not add to his meager tally of one goal in the league since he joined this summer. Neymar was out injured.
Lens took the lead while Messi was lying on the pitch following contact with Facundo Medina. Fofana unleashed a powerful long-range strike that Navas failed to block.
Despite two consecutive draws, PSG increased its lead to 13 points after second-placed Marseille lost at home against Brest 2-1.

what is happening with messi

The assist doesn't mean he saved PSG, for instance the previous match when he and Messi started, Messi played quite well, he gave a lot of good balls, while Mbappe only missed a one on one with the gk, which would have been assisted by Messi...
If it about good ball and creating chances, kante or kdb would av won ballon dor

Summary of my comment is that brainless haters always come to troll Messi even when Mbappe plays worse than him, while half of them are Madrid fans, so if they say bad things about Messi they should say the bad things about Mbappe too, but they won't as they Messi haters and Mbappe fans...
Mbappe worst is better than Messi best. If not for Mbappe psg would be 7th on the table like ur club barca

Name me one great French league team that anyone can remember throughout history? Don't say PSG, they are not great, as they have only won domestically in a weak league. Name one! Tell me their players, I'll wait. Exactly.
You obviously dont know ball If u mention the players you wont even know them Just know at a time saint ettiene marseille and lyon were some of the biggest clubs in the world Marseille even won the ucl in 1993 So please dont talk if you only started watching football in 2018

Cr7 is on another. he has been top class in both Premier league, La liga and Serie A.... Praising a player(Messi) who has proved nothing is a sign of stupidity. Messi played in La Liga almost his entire career and can't afford to adopt in a small small French league. blind followers.... you are free to make noise blind ones.

There's no rules that said Messi must score if he win the award. This PSG team don't play as a team. They need to understand Messi. Mbappe is a selfish player. He thinks he's better than everyone in the team. Football is a team game you need to understand each player style of play before the team can gel.

you're mum's v****. Juventus won it in 8 consecutive years, what were those other teams doing πππ then a certain player came and did the impossible for them and as a result they lost their dominance
how stupid can you be. Juve have done really bad to supply the team with World Class midfield talent. and it didn't help that they hired Sarri then sacked him and hired an inexperienced coach in Pirlo who didn't even have his coaching badges yet. dont be stupid and look at the whole picture.

Idk how y'all think Messi is actually better than Ronaldo. Messi is finding it hard to score in the FARMERS' league. He was only good for ONE team. Ronaldo have scored and performed all over Europe. And don't say Messi needs time. Ronaldo didn't. The best players can adjust to different environment and play styles.
lol look at ronaldo games against juventus.... he also scored 5 goals in 12 matches, besides he was a goal poacher... messi has scored 4 goals and 3 assists in 11 games (3 games playing after 45 mins) playing as a amf... so think before you speak
