Lionel Messi vs Angers Ligue 1

Paris St-Germain secured a win at home against Angers, with Lionel Messi scoring in his first game with the team since leading Argentina to victory in the World Cup.

After a well-deserved extended break following his impressive World Cup performance, the 35-year-old Messi found the back of the net to double PSG’s lead after Hugo Ekitike’s early opener.

Messi’s goal was confirmed by a video assistant referee check after a pass from Nordi Mukiele. Neymar almost added a third goal, but it was disallowed due to offside.

With this win, PSG maintains its six-point lead at the top of Ligue 1, as second-placed Lens tied 2-2 in their match against Strasbourg.
