Messi and Mbappe magic sends PSG six points clear
Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe combined superbly to inspire Paris Saint-Germain to a 3-0 Ligue 1 win at Ajaccio on Saturday (AEDT).
The defending champion was without the suspended Neymar, leaving it up to the two other stars on its forward line to send PSG six points clear at the top. It did so in style.
Mbappe, who recently slammed reports of him wanting to leave the club as "completely false", cut a frustrated figure for much of the game even after breaking the deadlock in the 24th minute.
He was teed up by Messi for that opener before missing a series of chances to claim a hat-trick.
However, a commanding PSG display was eventually reflected by the scoreline as Mbappe and Messi linked up brilliantly for the latter to make it 2-0 before the long-time Real Madrid target added further gloss with his second.
