Lionel Messi named 'most underperforming' Ligue 1 player so far this season
The year 2021 is almost over and it's safe to say that Lionel Messi's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain could be going better.
The Argentine has scored five goals in five Champions League games but his tally in Ligue 1 stands at just 1 goal in 11 games.
And according to the statistics media Understat, the 34-year-old is actually the 'most underperforming' player in the French top flight.
Because Messi's expected goals number stands at 4.62 goals, he has a negative difference of 3.62 expected goals after only scoring once.
