El gol de falta de Leo al Niza el pasado sábado sirvió para ayudar al PSG a conseguir el séptimo triunfo consecutivo de la temporada, pero también para alcanzar otro récord. El argentino, con ese tanto en el minuto 29, sumó su gol 40 de falta en partidos de liga. Desde su debut en la temporada 2004-2005, nadie ha conseguido más tantos de tiro libre y deja por ahora su marca en 40 goles en 444 disparos de falta.

Además, el argentino es el jugador más peligroso de las cinco grandes ligas de Europa, según un estudio publicado por Opta. La estadística, que combina los disparos a portería y las ocasiones de gol creadas, refleja que Leo es el líder de esta clasificación con 63 ocasiones.

Leo was once again amongst the goals in PSG's 2-1 victory against Nice and the Parisians remain top of the Ligue 1 standings with 25 points to their name after nine games.

The Argentine struck his fifth goal of the domestic season and his seventh so far this term in a PSG shirt. His latest goal brings his tally for the week to five goals after the four he scored in the two matches with Argentina, against Honduras and Jamaica.

Leo and PSG will this Saturday go in search of their seventh straight win this term when they host Nice, who lie in 11th place with eight points to their name, at the Parc des Princes (21:00). The Parisians head into the game lying top of the Ligue 1 table on 22 points.

This Matchday 9 fixtures comes on the back of the international break, in which Leo played twice for Argentina (against Honduras and Jamaica) and netted twice in both games.

Argentina ran out 3-0 winners over Jamaica in New Jersey in one of the team’s last outings before the World Cup in Qatar. Leo hit another double in his 35-minute run-out. This latest brace brings the in-form Albiceleste captain’s scoring streak to nine goals in the last three games.

In addition, this win was Leo’s 100th in competitive games for the national team and he becomes the first Argentine player to reach this milestone.

The Argentine national team will contest the last friendly of the current international window on Tuesday against Jamaica at the New Jersey’s Red Bull Arena at 20:00 local time.

Jamaica currently sit in 42nd place in the FIFA ranking and have failed to beat the Albiceleste in the sides’ last three meetings (5-0, 2-1 and 1-0).

Leo Messi heads into the penultimate run-out before the Qatar World Cup having struck seven goals in Argentina’s last two outings.

The Argentina national team ran out 3-0 winners over Honduras at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium. Leo bagged a brace, the first of which came in first-half injury time from the penalty spot, before he completed his double on 69'.

This win extends the Albiceleste's unbeaten run to 34 matches. Next up for Argentina is a friendly against Jamaica. Leo Messi, the national team's all-time leading marksman, added a further two goals to his tally and has now struck 88 times in 162 outings.
