Leo Messi was recovering his best version and these last weeks was 'on fire' in laLiga. In the 6 parties that has contested in 2021 of the championship suspender belt, the one of Rosario had annotated 8 targets, putting in 5 of these 6 commitments. Spectacular numbers that had done him put in the fight by the Boot of Gold and that ilusionaban especially thinking in the eighth of final of Champions League.
Unfortunately, the good moment of the '10' has not extended to the League of Champions and the forward, like the rest of his mates, disappointed against Paris Saint-Germain this Tuesday. The rosarino had a very grey night in front of the French and happened on tiptoe by the crash. It is true that the six times Balloon of Gold marked the only goal of the FC Barcelona in the duel, but still like this his performance left a lot that wish.
Besides, it fits to stand out that the so much of Leo arrived from the eleven metres, something that already is a tonic usual in this Champions. Until this gone of eighth, the captain barcelonista carried three targets, having arrived the three from the penalty spot. Not to lose the habit, the international albiceleste went back to mark of maximum penalty to advance momentáneamente to his.

It has had good parties, but not even then has attained to be decisive with the balloon at stake. It annotated a goal of penalti in each one of the three first meetings of the phase of groups in front of Ferencvaros, Juventus of Turín and Dinamo of Kiev. Afterwards, after losing by technical decision the duels in front of Hungarian and Ukrainians, remained without 'wet' against the Juve in the painful defeat by 0-3.
The turn has to be the party of Messi
Against the PSG had to leave backwards his doubts in the phase of groups and show the same level that came showed in League. However, it was far to shine and once again only could desequilibrar the marker from the eleven metres. After the 1-4, the culés are almost deleted, but Leo will have an opportunity more for resarcirse and try the impossible on 10 March in the Park of the Princes.
