Messi, Neymar, Haaland: Who has the most goal contributions in 2022? | OneFootball

Lionel Messi has been in superb form of late.

The Paris Saint-Germain superstar has taken Ligue 1 and the Champions League by storm in 2022/23 thus far.

He’s currently Europe’s highest-rated player over on WhoScored, with four goals and seven assists coming from his eight appearances in the French top-flight.

Messi is cooking in 2022/23 and that will concern the world’s top footballing nations ahead of the Qatar World Cup.

But while the Argentina international has been immense in recent times, he’s still not in the top five for goal contributions over the course of 2022.

Messi has to settle for ninth place in that regard, behind PSG teammates Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

He is currently ahead of Manchester City‘s Erling Haaland, though.
