Paris—At 34, Lionel Messi has reinvented himself. He’s no longer the prolific speedy winger of his Barcelona glory days. The Argentina star has lost a bit of pace but compensates with his vision and technique to still have an impact on the game.
He’s no longer the prolific speedy winger of his Barcelona glory days. The Argentina star has lost a bit of pace but compensates with his vision and technique to still have an impact on the game.
He spent his entire career with Barcelona before joining PSG, winning 10 La Liga titles as well as four Champions Leagues. Messi missed games against Metz and Montpellier in September because of a bone bruise in his left knee. He missed a game against Bordeaux in November because of pain in his knee and hamstring. A few days ago, he missed the game against Angers because of an inflammation in his left Achilles tendon.
Messi needed time to adapt to a new league. In his PSG debut in August, he was warmly applauded when he came off the bench in the second half against Reims. His first PSG goal was in September in the Champions League against Manchester City, but he didn’t open his account in the French league until November.
