Lionel Messi Records 300th Club Assist
The Argentine was involved in the build-up in both PSG goals, directly passing to Mbappe for his second goal of the night.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup Golden Ball winner also claimed a career milestone with that pass to Kylian Mbappe, recording his 300th club assist in an illustrious career spent mostly at Barcelona, according to ESPN.
It was the 35-year-old's 16th league assist of the season and 20th overall. He only needs two more to break the Ligue 1 record for most assists in a season by a player.
Lionel Messi dazzled fans worldwide by scoring out-of-the-world screamers as a prolific goalscorer throughout his career, but his playmaking ability is also an elite aspect of his game. As his career advanced, he gradually made the switch from front to the deeper areas of the pitch to dictate play.
This enabled the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner to sustain a very high level of play despite slight physical decline due to age.
