Hands up, who thought we'd be entering November and still be waiting for Lionel Messi's first Paris Saint-Germain goal in Ligue 1?
The 34-year-old was a one-man band over the summer, putting his talismanic talents to good use and bringing Copa America glory raining down on Argentina, while topping the individual statistic charts in just about every department.
But after he was forced to wait 15 years for his first trophy in the blue and white of his beloved national team, it all feels a bit like he had to sell his soul to the devil in order to taste such sweet, sweet success.
For only a matter of months later, Messi's world is very, very different to the one we were all living in while he was blubbering like a baby in front of a packed out stadium in South America.
Since winning his first major international trophy, the Argentine has been forced out of his beloved home at Camp Nou, joined a club which is even more obsessed with the Champions League than he's been for the past half decade, and suddenly hit a bizarre scoring drought.
