Argentine soccer legend Lionel Messi not only provided two exquisite assists to help Kylian Mbappe score a hat-trick, but also set a new record for the most breakthroughs in a single game in Europe's top five leagues this season with nine successful breakthroughs in France's Ligue 1, as the 35-year-old's athleticism continues to flourish in the French first division, which dawned at dawn Sunday.
In the 18th minute of the game, Messi quickly got rid of the defense in the middle of the road and passed a precise diagonal pass to Mbappe, who easily broke the goal. In the second half, Messi's clever back pass from the right touchline to Mbabi made it 2-0, and substitute Nunez Alexandre also scored to help PSG seal a 3-0 win.
Although Messi failed to score himself in this game, his performance was still stunning, with 9 successful breakthroughs in 13 attempts, and he has already broken through 25 times in the league this season, both figures are among the top of the top five leagues in Europe.
