A number of players have been impressive in performances for their respective teams in the 29th Premier League game of the week.


Manchester City striker Jack Grealish was one of the best players on the pitch in the 4-0 win over Liverpool. Grealish scored his team's fourth goal and set up Julian Alvarez in the opening minutes. The England international had two shots on target and two successful dribbles. Trent Alexander-Arnold couldn't keep Grealish. Gabriel Jesus scored a brace for Arsenal in a 4-1 win over Leeds United. The Brazilian forward has missed most of Arsenal's games this season through injury. Gabriel Jesus is now back in top form after a stellar performance against Leeds. He will help the Gunners win the Premier League this season.



Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne were unstoppable in City's 4-1 win over Liverpool. Mahrez scored an assist in the match while De Bruyne scored and assisted against the Reds.


The following is a list of the players with the best performances in week 29 of the Premier League match.



Jack Grealish, Gabriel Jesus and Riyad Mahrez are the strikers while Ramsey, Xhaka, Kevin De Bruyne and Kieran Trippier are the midfielders. Aguerd, Pinnock and Keane are the defenders while Emi Martinez is the goalkeeper.


Martin made a total of seven saves in Aston Villa's 2-0 win over Chelsea. He helped his team get all three points of the game.



Everton defender Keane scored a brilliant last-minute goal against Tottenham Hotspur to save the Toffees from defeat.

Lionel Messi is unlikely to re-sign with Paris Saint-Germain, with his contract set to expire this summer, according to ESPN's Julien Laurens and French outlet L'Equipe.


Laurens has reported that PSG are asking Messi to accept a 25% pay cut on his next contract.


This news comes days after Barcelona vice-president Rafa Yuste confirmed the club are interested in meeting with the 35-year-old. MLS Commissioner Don Garber has also clarified that the league wants Messi to play club football in the United States.


Messi had a rather forgettable first season in the French capital, with six goals and 14 assists in 26 Ligue 1 appearances. He scored five goals in the UEFA Champions League, but that was not enough for Paris Saint-Germain to avoid being eliminated in the round of 16.


The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner looks just like himself to kick off the 2022-23 campaign and help Argentina win the FIFA World Cup for a third time. He was also named the tournament's best player.


Messi's form has declined since then. He has scored six goals in his last 11 Ligue 1 appearances and he failed to help PSG get another Champions League knock-out in the round of 16. According to Laurens, a part of fans have begun to vent their frustration with Messi, which is making the legendary striker 'uncomfortable'.



His performances could raise concerns for any club that could sign him next.


According to Laurens, Messi earns a total of 40 million euros a year from his current contract with Paris Saint-Germain. Assuming his reluctance to take a pay cut applies to Barcelona or any other situation, he would make a substantial amount of money for a player in the twilight of his career.


And even if he does reimburse all or most of that money in the form of a commercial boost he brings in, there's no small question about his impact on the pitch. Messi has clearly lost a step towards the end of his tenure at Barcelona, ??and that leads to tactical problems as his status gives him a certain degree of influence. Running a large part of your attack through the Argentinian is fine as he can almost carry the team on his own, but he no longer has that ability.


On the surface, anyone would be foolish to turn down the opportunity to sign Messi. But the costs associated with moving, both financial and intangible, give you pause.
