Messi Magic Stuns PSG in Champions League ThrillerMessi Magic Stuns PSG in Champions League Thriller In a pulsating Champions League encounter that will live long in footballing folklore, Lionel Messi conjured up a spectacular performance to lead a scintillating Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to a dramatic 4-3 victory over Troyes. The French giants took an early lead through Kylian Mbappé, but Troyes stunned the Parc des Princes faithful by equalizing before the break. The game then swung back and forth as PSG regained the advantage through Neymar only to see Troyes level again. With the clock ticking down, it was Messi who took center stage. The Argentine maestro first provided a stunning assist for Neymar’s second goal before weaving through the Troyes defense and curling a sublime shot into the top corner. The Parc des Princes erupted in a deafening roar as Messi, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, reminded the world of his enduring brilliance. His goal proved to be the winner, securing PSG’s ninth consecutive league victory and cementing their position at the top of the table. “It was a very tough game,” said Messi after the match. “Troyes played very well, but we managed to win thanks to the character and belief in this team.” PSG manager Christophe Galtier hailed Messi’s performance, saying: “He is the greatest player of all time, and he showed why tonight. He was the difference-maker, and his contribution was immense.” The victory extends PSG’s unbeaten streak to 16 matches in all competitions. They will now turn their attention to their Champions League clash against Bayern Munich next week, where they will hope to continue their impressive run of form and secure a place in the quarter-finals.
