He is playing in an unimpressive team. A good midfield is so important and they don't have it. Man City would hammer this marseille team and if they only won by one they would still dominate the game

Seriously this PSG team is only motivated for the CL. I doubt they even care for these games.

By contrast, his scoring for Argentina from open play has actually been kind of bad for a few years but his general play is usually class so I'm fine with it.

Thing with Messi is, he doesn't necessarily need to score to be one of the best on the field, he is also a superb creator, so yeah, he can contribute just fine without open play goals, he is a playmaker.

You can't ask everything of a player, though the lack of workrate is an issue, as it is with a few other star players.

Of course they care about the league and they know you can't just turn it on for the champions league if you are playing poorly every week. They are lucky to have 7 points in the Champions League. City and leipzig were actually better than them.

like DiMaria said in an interview, he would change all the French trophies(17 total for him I think) for CL. That shows sometimes in their league games too.

Remember he's with a new team and hasn't fully gelled yet. Also he was playing pretty similar for barca until November last year. At least his partnership with mbappe looks good

Put 2 on a plate for Mbumppe tonight. But the speed merchant failed to profit.
