“Messi was a very important driving force for us, given his goal and the chances he created. I’m asking the team to play for him and to work for him. He must be relieved of certain duties. His teammates must intensify their efforts to win the ball back and to create spaces, so that he can spray around his passes which are so rare,” Galtier said.

Messi’s goal against Toulouse came in the 57th minute after a play involving Moroccan right back Achraf Hakimi. Toulouse had taken the lead in the 20th minute thanks to free kick expert Branco van den Boomen, but PSG drew level late in the first half.

Kylian Mbappé and Neymar were both sidelined, so PSG was forced to rely heavily on Messi, who hit the post in stoppage time. Messi, who has scored 98 goals for Argentina, would not have been as successful for PSG. With Bayern Munich coming up on February 14 for the opening leg of their round of 16 Champions League match, PSG needs Messi.
