On the other side, take note that Dango Ouattara led FC Lorient to four victories in September while tallying four goals and two assists. Jonathan David, on the other hand, scored three goals for Lille in September but was unable to secure any victories.
Recall that PSG’s most recent UCL match against Benfica had Messi in the starting lineup. The Argentine forward then scored a goal and gave PSG the lead against the grain of the game.
When Brazilian player Danilo scored an own goal, Benfica equalized the score. In the second half, both teams searched for the winning goal, but sadly, Messi injured his calf and had to leave the game in the last moments.
