And the Argentine ace was at it again on Saturday, September 10, as he set up Neymar for their side's opener at the half-hour mark.

Messi clipped the ball over the Brest defence towards Neymar, who brought it down superbly before slamming it into the far corner with his left foot to make it 1-0.

But before Messi's moment of magic, the ex-Barca ace had a chance of his to break the deadlock in the 19th minute, only for Mbappe to deny him the goalscoring opportunity.

According to Sportbible, the star forward arrowed a left-footed volley that was heading towards the bottom right corner after he was found unmarked, only for the effort to hit Mbappe, who was clearly at the wrong place at the wrong time.
