Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe – Combined Goals and Assists at PSG

Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe are one of the most lethal attacking duos in the world. Not to forget Neymar Jr, who completes the trio. However, the Argentine soccer legend and the French magic man just have something different going on between them.

The Argentine World Cup winner has always been deemed a selfless player. Even at Paris Saint-Germain, he is doing all he can to provide his star teammate, Mbappe, with the best opportunities to score a goal.

Let’s have a look at some of the best-combined goals and assists from the two soccer heroes at Paris Saint-Germain.

Lionel Messi’s amazing assists to Mbappe

In February itself, the PSG duo was in the limelight after scoring a delightful goal. Lionel Messi created the chance and served it on a plate to the young Frenchman. After a give-and-go pass to Messi, Mbappe made a darting run through the defense from the left wing. Messi simply waited for the right second and lofted the ball over Marseille’s entire defensive unit. The Frenchman slotted the ball comfortably into the back of the net.

In 2022, Kylian Mbappe broke yet another soccer record. He managed to score the fastest goal in Ligue 1 history with Messi’s help. The game had just kicked off against Lille, and after a few passes around the center of the pitch, Messi noticed that Mbappe had made an aggressive run inwards from the left side of the pitch.

The Argentine played a piercing ball over the heads of the Lille defenders. All Mbappe had to do was slot the ball into the back of the net. And he rightly did so.

These were just two of the many amazing goals that Lionel Messi has created for Mbappe. It’s safe to say that the Argentine magician won’t stop creating goals on the pitch as long as he is playing the sport.

Has Mbappe provided any assists to Messi’s goals so far?

Yes, Mbappe has assisted some of Messi’s goals to date. As of March 10, 2023, Kylian Mbappe has assisted the Argentine in scoring 3 goals. However, for the longest time, the Frenchman hadn’t assisted Messi or Neymar to score any goal.

Kylian Mbappe has more goals for Paris Saint Germain as compared to Lionel Messi. The simple reason is that the born Frenchman first joined PSG on loan at the beginning of the 2017 season. He has been a lethal and prolific goal scorer since then. PSG decided to make the loan move permanent in 2018 and the rest is history. Over the last five seasons, Mbappe has managed to score a total of 201 goals for PSG.

On the other hand, Lionel Messi joined the French soccer giants in August 2021 on a free transfer. It has been a slow start to his French club soccer career. But the Argentine captain has had his own moments of brilliance in a PSG jersey. Since August 2021, the Argentine soccer legend managed to score a total of 29 goals.

After a tragic end to their UEFA Champions League campaign, the lethal duo might be playing its last games together in the next few months. As per recent reports, the Argentine is currently considering a sensational return back to his boyhood club at the end of the season.
