Leading French media outlet L’Equipe has reported that Messi performed better than he did in the second quarter of the Champions League against Real Madrid, who suffered a shock defeat to PSG. Messi, who missed a penalty in the first quarter, was rated just three out of ten by the French media, who doubled his rating in the second quarter. According to the rating, the main culprits behind PSG’s defeat are the team’s backers.
Only three PSG players in the competition have a rating equal to or greater than that of Messi. Verratti and Mbabane have seven ratings higher than Messi, while midfielder Danilo Pereira has six of Messi’s same ratings. All the other PSG players received less than these.
