Leo Messi named 'second-worst' player in Europe's top 5 leagues in one important attacking stat

Leo Messi returned to action against Reims on the weekend after spending almost a month on the sidelines due to COVID-19. Once again, he failed to score.

Of the players to have scored a goal in Europe's top 5 leagues this season (a total of 1057 men), Messi has 'the second-worst shots to goals ratio', as per Get French Football News.

The Argentine's incredible 44 attempts at goal in Ligue 1 have so far resulted in just a single goal across 12 games.

Only Manchester City's full-back Joao Cancelo, with one goal from 46 shots, has a worse shots-go-goal ratio.

Since leaving Barcelona, Messi has played 12 league games for Paris Saint-Germain and has scored just once.
