Lionel Messi has once again proven his exceptional skills and leadership as he scored three assists in Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) 4-0 victory over Nantes on Sunday.

The Argentine superstar, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, showed his versatility by creating scoring opportunities for his teammates throughout the match.

Messi began the game with a stunning pass that led to a goal for Neymar Jr., before he assisted another goal for Kylian Mbappe later in the first half. The second assist was a delightful cross that found Edinson Cavani in the box, who finished off the move with a powerful header.

Messi's performance was further highlighted by his ability to create chances from set-pieces, which he did brilliantly on several occasions throughout the game. He also made some crucial interceptions and tackles, showing his dominance on the pitch.

Despite PSG's dominant display, they had to wait until the second half to add to their lead, thanks to a controversial penalty awarded against them after a handball in the box by goalkeeper Yann Sommer. However, the French champions managed to take advantage of the situation and scored two more goals through Antoine Griezmann and Mauro Icardi.

The win puts PSG top of the Ligue 1 table, with Messi's assist record still unmatched. His contribution to the team's success cannot be overstated, and it will be interesting to see how he continues to perform for PSG in the upcoming matches.
