"Let's go kid" - Sergio Aguero reacts to Lionel Messi's matchwinning display for PSG against Toulouse

Former Argentina striker Sergio Aguero was among those who were thrilled by Lionel Messi's goalscoring performance in PSG's 2-1 victory over Toulouse in Ligue 1.

PSG locked horns with Toulouse at the Parc des Princes in their 22nd Ligue 1 match of the season on Saturday, February 4. Lionel Messi and Co. went into the game looking to build on their 3-1 win against Montpellier.

Christophe Galtier's side made a poor start to the game as they conceded a goal just 20 minutes in. Dutch midfielder Branco van den Boomen found the back of the net for the visitors.

Achraf Hakimi, though, nullified Toulouse's opener with what was his fourth Ligue 1 goal of the season 18 minutes later. The Moroccan then turned provider as Messi grabbed the winner for Les Parisiens just before the hour mark.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner thus continued his fine form, netting his third goal in five league matches. The Parisians also reinforced their place at the top of the table as they now boast an eight-point lead over second-placed Marseille.

Expressing his delight at the win, Messi shared a number of pictures from the match against Toulouse on his Instagram. The post has already garnered over nine million likes, with several celebrities commenting on it.

Aguero was among those who reacted to the 35-year-old's social media post on Saturday night. The former Argentina striker showed his support for his friend by writing:

“Let’s go kid.”

Futsal legend Alessandro Rosa Vieira (popularly known as Falcao) also notably interacted with Lionel Messi's Instagram post.
