"I know that many people don't take this seriously, but very often these passes are much more difficult/important than assists and goals," scout Jacek Kulig tweets.

Kulig pins a few pics-examples of the pre-assists Pedri has provided in his career so far – a solid proof that it's indeed a difficult job to do.

Interestingly, Pedri has got zero assists this season, yet his playmaking impact is never in doubt.

Fan spots PSG adopt Barca's 'Messi gameplan' – their coach confirms it

 have adopted the infamous 'give the ball to 

's absence, Leo Messi was doing even more work than usual on the pitch, covering plenty of distance and making more than 80 touches.

At first, this 'game plan' did not seem to be working well. However, it ended with Messi scoring a great goal and providing 7 (!) key passes which is truly impressive.

After the game (PSG beat Toulouse 2-1), the Parisians' head coach 

 said, per L'Equipe: "I ask the team to play and work for Messi. He has to be exempt from certain tasks and his teammates must 

 their efforts to recover and create movement, so that he can distribute passes."

For me personally, it seems like an indirect way of convincing Leo to sign a new deal with PSG. This is like a message: "Look, we can make you the team's biggest star even despite

'F*ck bro, you already have a World Cup': fans react as Messi drops vintage performance for PSG

At 35 years old, with multiple titles and 

 is still dropping masterclass performances for 

 man registered 6 dribbles, 7 key passes and scored an incredible curler from outside the box.

 "Messi, Messi, this guy man. Fuck bro, you already have a world cup"

 "What a performance from the world champion Leo Messi, he is still equally hungry after winning the greatest accolade."

 "For once, I’m thankful for my time zone distortion because it kept me up long enough to watch a Messi classic. 6 successful dribbles, 7 key passes and a cracking left-footed curler into the corner… the man’s been doing it for well over a decade, but it never gets old!"

 "As I said after the last game: No drama, no bullshit, no tantrums. He wakes up, drops a masterclass, goes into dressing room, changes, posts on IG and goes home to his kids. Lionel Messi is just pure football."

 "How many times has this guy said “F*ck it I’m Lionel Messi” and taken matters into his own hands, he’s still the best player in the world man, insane."

 "Messi is still scoring stunning goals from outside the box at the age of 36. He's not even trying to score tap-ins to make people criticize him. He's scoring goals that you will be too ashamed to criticize. That's magic!"

Messi is simply insane, he's recorded 10 goals and 10 assists in 18 league games this season. It seems that the Argentine has his 8th Ballon d'Or in his bag.

I will so happy if we get 3 points. Good luck to the team
