Lionel Messi has been unstoppable this season as he scored a hat-trick in PSG's victory over Lyon on Sunday. The Argentine forward, who is currently the top scorer in the French league with 24 goals, continued his impressive form by scoring three goals in just one half.
The match was a dominant display from PSG, who were able to dominate possession and create numerous opportunities for their attackers. However, it was Messi who stole the show, scoring two penalties and adding a third himself after scoring a stunning strike that deflected off the crossbar.
With his hat-trick, Messi has now surpassed the 25-goal mark for the season, becoming the first player since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018 to reach such a milestone in a single campaign. He will be hoping to continue his incredible form and help PSG secure another title this season.
Despite the impressive performance, Lyon were unable to prevent PSG from winning the game, leaving them in second place in the table behind Paris Saint-Germain. However, they can still qualify for the playoffs if they win their remaining matches.
Overall, Messi's hat-trick was a testament to his exceptional talent and skill, and it shows why he is considered one of the greatest footballers of all time. With the rest of the season still ahead of him, there is no doubt that Messi will continue to be a key factor in PSG's success this season.
