Kylian Mbappe started off the scoring for PSG and Vitinha’s long-range shot doubled their lead in the 37th minute. Lionel Messi’s goal to make it 3-0 was truly spectacular, as the Argentine found a pocket of space outside the box, passed the ball to Mbappe, who then returned it with a backheel before Messi slotted it past goalkeeper Brice Samba and into the far corner.
With this convincing win, the reigning champions are now nine points clear with only seven games remaining, making it highly likely that they will secure their 11th league title and set a new French record.
