While some fans trolled Leo Messi over his slow start in Ligue 1, the Argentine almost unnoticeably climbed to 3rd place on the list of players with most league assists this season.
He is only behind Kylian Mbappe and Lens' Jonathan Clauss. Two assists will see him surpassing both and topping the list.
It's worth a mention Messi has played 1,163 minutes so far – compared to Mbappe's 1955 and Clauss' 2014.
1. Kylian Mbappe (PSG) - 9 assists (0 from set pieces)
2. Jonathan Clauss (Lens) - 9 assists (2 from set pieces)
3. Lionel Messi (PSG) - 8 assists (3 from set pieces)
4. Dimitri Payet (Marseille) - 8 assists (4 from set pieces)
5. Amine Gouiri (Nice) - 7 assists (0 from set pieces)
