Messi had an eventful season, winning the long-awaited, most prestigious tournament of the footballing world, the World Cup for the first time in his career and after 36 years for his country. He also won the Golden Ball for the best player of the tournament, scoring 7 times and assisting 3 times in seven games.

His brief two-year stint with PSG was a bittersweet one as once loved by the fans, Messi was booed off multiple times this season. In his 75 appearances for the French club, he scored 32 goals and made 34 assists. He also won the league twice, and the French super cup, once.
