Ligue 1: Shocking Video of Lionel Messi Standing Still Before Being Subbed Off At Half-Time during PSG vs Lille, Check Out- Lionel Messi has not had the best of starts since he joined PSG in this transfer window. He has not scored or assisted a single goal in Ligue 1 and had a tough time against Lille in PSG’s last match as the Argentine was subbed off at halftime due to muscle pain. PSG came back to win that game 2-1 as Marquinhos and Angel Di Maria scored 2 goals at the 74th and 88th minute to grab the 3 points.
The Argentine looked in pain, clutching his hamstring at one stage as he failed to make an impact.
A video of him standing still in the first half during a PSG attack was made viral on Twitter.
The video shows the Argentine superstar standing still outside of the box, watching on as Neymar and Angel Di Maria contest for the ball to create a chance. Watch the video here:
