Argentina international drew another blank against the newly crowned Ligue 1 champions at Parc des Princes.
Lionel Messi’s woes at PSG continued in their 1-1 draw with Troyes, as the forward reached a remarkable milestone.
Troyes battled back from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw at Parc des Princes on Sunday, with goals from Ike Ugbo and Florian Tardieu cancelling out early efforts from Marquinhos and Neymar.
Messi extended his recent scoreless run to three games, but not for the want of trying, as the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner struck the woodwork twice on a frustrating night for the newly-crowned Ligue 1 champions.
How many times has Messi hit the woodwork in 2021-22?
Messi has only managed to score four goals in his debut season in Ligue 1, albeit while also recording 13 assists and hitting the upright on numerous occasions.
After being denied by the post and bar against Troyes, Messi has now struck the woodwork 10 times in 2021-22, more than any other player since the beginning of Opta statistics for the competition back in 2006-07.
What did Pochettino have to say about the 2-2 tie?
Mauricio Pochettino was not dissatisfied with Messi and the rest of his PSG attack after the game, but he did believe that individual errors at the back were more costly than their missed chances.
“I think we played well,” the head coach said on Amazon Prime Video. “We didn’t win because of two mistakes. We dominated the game and had numerous chances, but those two errors cost us three points.”
PSG will now travel to Montpellier before lifting the Ligue 1 trophy at Parc des Princes on the final day of the season after a clash with Metz.
