Ligue 1: Marseille vs PSG score, result as Messi and Mbappe soar to Le Classique win in Ligue 1
Despite the fact that the Le Classique is one of the most heated rivalries in France, PSG may be excused for having their 10-day Champions League encounter against Bayern Munich in mind. As Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi put on a display at the Stade Velodrome to defeat sworn enemies Marseille 3-0, the Parisians did not seem to be paying attention to the calendar. Messi scored a third goal, while Mbappe won a brace for his efforts. Together, they had an outstanding performance. While PSG entered the game in terrible form and with a five-point lead over their opponents in the Ligue 1 standings, they were aware that any more dips may endanger their chances of winning the domestic title. They were careful not to falter, extending the Ligue 1 advantage to eight points before the end of the game. Marseille really had a strong opening, battering the PSG defence, but Mbappe's goal from Messi's counterattack ended that, and PSG went on to win easily. Messi's goal became the first Le Classique goal of his legendary career and his 700th club goal, while Mbappe's second goal tied Edinson Cavani for the most goals scored by a PSG player in club history. Presnel Kimpembe's premature departure from the game in the first 20 minutes with what appeared to be a problematic non-contact injury was the only unfavourable development for PSG.After the game, it was reported that Kimpembe will now miss the remainder of the season after he was seen on crutches on the PSG bench during the second half. His departure may be expensive going forward because the team's defensive ranks are already weak.
