Paris Saint-Germain's Lionel Messi will lead Argentina at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this month and the 35-year-old is in some of the best form of his late career after an impressive start to his second season in France.
Les Parisiens' No. 30 has scored seven goals and added 10 assists in Ligue 1 already this campaign with four more goals and assists in the UEFA Champions League across 17 appearances.
Add in his goal which helped to secure the Trophee des Champions at the start of this term and Messi has 12 goals and 14 assists from 18 outings across all competitions -- already better than his debut season's tally of 11 goals and 14 assists in Ligue 1 and Champions League combined.
