Messi against French clubs

The last league I'm yet to cover in the top 5 leagues is the French league, Ligue 1. He's only faced 2 different teams from France, but he has encountered them often.

The first club is PSG. Although they recently got kicked out by them in the UCL R16, he still has a very good record against them. Specifically, he has 6 goals and 1 assist in 10 games against them. 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses. He has an average rating of 7.67 against them, and he makes 4.4 dribbles per 90, 1.8 key passes per 90, and 3.2 shots per 90 (1.1 on target per 90).


The second and last club is Lyon. He has faced them 6 times since the 2007/08 UCL season. He has scored 5 goals and made 2 assists in only 6 games against them, with 3 wins and 3 draws, an undefeated streak. He kicked them out of the 2008/09 UCL R16 and the 2018/19 UCL R16.


Overall, he has scored 11 goals and made 3 assists against French teams in only 16 games, which is a 0.947 G/A per 90 ratio, which is impressive, and it shows that he performs as good as always against French teams as well.
