This season, the Lionel Messi-Kylian Mbappe scoring combination has been deadly for Paris Saint-Germain.
Both players have found a level of chemistry that has allowed them to dominate the 22-23 season, at least in Ligue 1.
WhoScored pointed out on Twitter a statistic that illustrates how lethal the Messi-to-Mbappe combination has been this season.

Messi to Mbappe is the best assist-to-goalscorer combination in Europe’s top 5 leagues this season, yielding 10 goals, the statistical website noted after the Argentine assisted one of the two goals from the French star on Friday night.
PSG won 2-1 on the night against Angers, owing to Kylian Mbappe’s brace. The Frenchman now has 22 Ligue 1 goals for the season, with Lionel Messi leading the assists rankings with 15 assists.

While the duo have often connected in the Ligue 1 competition, the same cannot be said for the UEFA Champions League.
In PSG’s Round of 16 matchup against Bayern Munich, the capital club failed to score a goal and was eliminated again early in the knockout stage.
As a result, PSG fans could see the final moments of this connection as Messi becomes a free agent in June and the French giants could move in a different direction as sporting advisor Luis Campos builds the project around Kylian Mbappe.
It remains to be seen if Lionel Messi would continue in Paris, due to the blistering partnership he has with Kylian Mbappe.
