Lionel Messi assisting Sergio Ramos for his 1000th club goal contribution is one line we never thought we’d write. But, that’s exactly what happened last night as the Argentine provided the assist for Ramos’ headed goal as PSG defeated Nice 2-0.
Earlier in the game, Messi achieved his 999th club goal contribution with a goal from inside the box to open the scoring. And he ended the night with yet another record to add to his unparalleled legacy.
Lionel Messi achieves 1000 club goal contributions in 2-0 win over Nice
While playing for Barcelona and PSG, Messi has scored 702 goals and has provided 298 assists. The 300 assists record is also one that he is quickly approaching, and one that he should reach by the end of the season at the latest.
After an underwhelming first season in France, Lionel Messi has returned to his free-flowing best, scoring 14 goals and providing 13 assists. And in the process, he is helping them close in on another Ligue 1 title, even though the fans continue to boo Messi.
His future with the Parisians remains up in the air, since he has received a proposal to renew. But, he wants to understand the sporting project before committing to the club. His former side, Barcelona, are also in talks to sign him on a free transfer this summer. But their financial restrictions could prevent it from happening unless they can find a way to work around it.
