Lionel Messi has been nominated for Ligue 1 Player of the Season despite recent form that has seen his commitment questioned by sections of the PSG fanbase. 

The 35-year-old could well leave the French top flight at the end of the season with his current deal lasting only months; however, he could leave on a high note with the league title and player of the season. 

Paris Saint-Germain are on course to win consecutive league titles for the first time since their three-peat in 2017/18 through 2019/20 seasons, as they are currently six points above second-placed Lens, thanks in part to Lionel Messi’s performances this season. 

The Argentine international leads the league in assists with 15, four more than the next-best Neymar. He has also scored 15 league goals this season; his 30-goal contributions are only matched by his teammate Kylian Mbappe.
