After a failed season, Leo now runs, accelerates, jumps the man with the ball glued to his foot and scores a goal. A repertoire that evokes the phenomenon of Barcelona’s glories. And before he leaves for the World Cup, the Parisian club aims to renew his contract
It’s a whole other Leo Messi. The numbers say it, again mind-boggling, but also the small details for a player who last year seemed lost, without reference points, without stimuli, after a life in the comfort of Barcelona. In the first season in Paris everything went wrong: few goals (11 in all), some assists to remedy them (15) and above all a posture of a soul in pain, culminating in the exclusion from the list of candidates for the Ballon d’Or.
