Video: Unbelievable assist from Messi

Paris Saint-Germain secured a crucial victory in Le Classique on Sunday evening, thanks to a superb display from Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. The dynamic duo were responsible for all three goals as PSG stretched their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to eight points.

Despite Marseille starting the game strongly, PSG soon showed their counter-attacking prowess. Mbappe latched onto a through ball from Messi to open the scoring, before turning provider just four minutes later, setting up Messi to double the lead.

Messi then missed a golden opportunity to make it 3-0, side-footing over the bar from close range. However, Mbappe made amends on the hour mark, volleying home a cross from Messi to seal the win.

Marseille were left to rue their earlier missed chances, with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma producing a couple of key saves to preserve his clean sheet. PSG now look well placed to claim another Ligue 1 title.
