Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has secured a thrilling victory over fellow Ligue 1 side Marseille on Sunday afternoon, securing their place at the summit of the French top flight.
The match was a tense affair as both sides fought for every possession, but it was PSG who emerged victorious, thanks to a brace from Lionel Messi and a goal from Kylian Mbappe.
Messi's first-half strike proved to be the game's decisive moment, as he capitalised on a defensive error by Marseille to slot home from close range. Mbappe then added to the lead in the second half, finishing off a composed move between himself and his team-mates.
It was a well-deserved win for PSG, who have now won seven consecutive matches in all competitions and are just three points behind leaders Monaco. The result also saw them extend their lead at the top of the table, as they look set to maintain their position at the summit of the French league.
The victory was also a reminder of the quality that is still available at the Parc des Princes, despite the departure of key players such as Neymar and Mauro Icardi. Messi and Mbappe continue to thrive under Mauricio Pochettino's leadership, while the rest of the squad looks determined to push on and challenge for the title once again.
Overall, this was another impressive display of PSG's ability to compete at the highest level, and one that will undoubtedly boost their confidence heading into the remaining games of the season. With a number of important fixtures left to play, there is still plenty of football to come, and PSG fans can't wait to see what the future holds.
