Lionel Messi made it five goals in five games for Paris Saint-Germain after he opened the scoring against Nantes in the Ligue Un Saturday evening fixture.

Perhaps more importantly on a personal level, it was the Argentinian World Cup winner’s 799th career goal, and 1000th goal contribution, and coming so early in the game means there’s plenty of time to notch his 800th in front of PSG adoring supporters.

Just as with so many of his finishes, Messi made the difficult look routine, moving into tight spaces without being tracked before tapping home a simple finish.

A master at work.
