Lionel Messi makes history with 300th club assist

Lionel Messi just keeps breaking records every month. The Argentine became the only player with 300 club assists after setting up Kylian Mbappe for the match-winning goal against Brest. 

The Frenchman was able to do well on his own, rounding the keeper to turn the draw into a win. But Messi was very valuable in picking out his teammate on the break and setting up the goal. He has been in unstoppable form all season, and has continued it following the World Cup as well. 

Lionel Messi continues record breaking run with new assist record 

This season, the forward has provided 17 assists while scoring 18 in 31 games across all competitions. But, he was unable to help the team against Bayern Munich in the Champions League Round of 16.

PSG were eliminated in the very first tie of the knockout stage yet again, scoring no goals against the Bavarians. And this has left Lionel Messi’s future in doubt. 

While he has a verbal agreement to renew with the French side, there are rumours that he could return to Barcelona. The Catalonians will have to raise a lot of money through player sales and lighten their wage bill to make it happen. But, there is a chance that the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner could return to the club where it all happened for him.
