PSG’s Messi-Neymar-Mbappe trifecta is blowing out expectations and opponents in the Champions League, finally living up to their superteam potential.

Messi lead the trio with two goals and two assists, followed by Mbappe with two goals and one assist, and Neymar with one goal. 

Only adding to his legend, Messi is now the oldest player at 35 to net two goals and two assists in a Champions League game. The GOAT is aging like fine wine, just in time for his final World Cup appearance, where he’ll lay it all on the line for Argentina.

PSG is finally becoming the offensive dragon we all knew they’d be when they brought Messi over from Barca. Their defense still has a lot of holes, holes players like Erling Haaland could potentially exploit soon. But when the three-headed goal-scoring monster of Neymar, Mbappe, and Messi is roaring, there is no defense built to withstand that kind of pressure.

Meanwhile, in Leipzig…

Real Madrid lost yesterday for the first time in the 2022-2023 season across all competitions. The reigning European and LaLiga champions fought back to preserve their unbeaten streak in Leipzig yesterday but ultimately fell short for the first time since May 8. 

Notice how not a single Los Blancos fan is freaking out – Real Madrid was already clear through to the UCL round of 16 before the match started, and the win was much more important for RB Leipzig, who bought their ticket to the knockout stages with the home upset. Madrid didn’t even bring Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema to the game – that’s how far ahead The Kings of Europe are this season.
