It has been very rare this season, but now Paris Saint-Germain can finally take advantage of their exceptional trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. But this efficiency comes too late for Paris fans and Thierry Henry.
the Paris Saint Germain was carried by its three planetary stars for two matches, but it was against Lorient and Clermont with two big wins (5-1) and (6-1). What a shame it’s not against Real Madrid. Last Saturday in Clermont, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar each scored a hat-trick in an impressive win that counted towards Day 31 of Ligue 1. Lionel Messi also went there with his hat-trick, but in assists with a total of 14 offers in the league this season. But unlike this weekend’s scoresheet, the three emblematic players are not often aligned at the same time this 2021-2022 season. Indeed, the MNM has only 14 games to its name. Lionel Messi needed time to adapt, while Neymar missed many games due to physical problems. The latter took him off the field from late November to early February after an injury to the malleolus against AS Saint-Etienne. The long journeys to the national team proved more than problematic for PSG with regard to Neymar and Leo Messi, who were often tired from their journey on their return to France. Kylian Mbappe, for his part, is the only good student since he played 39 games in all competitions this season and missed just three days in Ligue 1. Messi and Neymar have played in 28 and 23 matches respectively.

Thierry Henry confided in the good performance of the MNM, but the Prime Video star consultant has not forgotten the numerous absences of Leo Messi and Neymar a little earlier in the season. “We had already tasted against Lorient (5-1), there it is Clermont. Three assists from Leo Messi, three goals from Neymar and three goals from Kylian Mbappe. cheer. We’ve been waiting for this from the start, but they haven’t always been there at the same time. Neymar got injured. The 14th time they line up together? Yes, but it’s 14 of the how many. It’s not huge and then Neymar came back not too long ago after all. Now Kylian said it herself. It’s never too late, but still it’s a little late” noted the former Gunners legend. This season, the Mbappé-Neymar-Messi trio played just 14 full matches out of 42 in all competitions, a third. Last week against Lorient, the three stars scored for the first time this season in the same game.
