Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé put in superlative displays as Paris Saint-Germain beat Olympique de Marseille 3-0 in Sunday's Classique.

Marquinhos, of all players, was the next to try his luck but his low effort drifted wide of the far post (40'). Messi should have made it three soon after, but the ball bobbled as he went for it on his weaker right foot, and he skied it over the bar (34'). Eric Bailly had the ball in the net at the other end soon after, but the Ivorian's effort was ruled out having handballed in the build-up (28').

ST - Lionel Messi - 10/10 - His inch perfect pass set up the opener, and he latched onto Mbappe's stunning cross to make it 2-0. Bagged another in the second half and generally just looked completely unstoppable all evening. Dominated the midfield. The World Cup winner, with the goal gaping from six-yards out, side-footed over the crossbar when it seemed harder to miss. OM's best opening in the oening 20 minutes would come courtesy of that urgency, as Nuno Tavares burst through on goal after some powerful running down the right flank. Rather amazingly, after scoring his 700th club goal, Messi would spurn a glorious chance to make it 3-0.

The second corner is driven to the near post and headed out by Jordan Veretout for a third PSG corner in quick succession. Eric Bailly has the ball in the back of the net, but it's brought back for a clear handball. This time, it's Kylian Mbappe on the left who finds Lionel Messi streaking down the middle of the penalty area, and his nutmeg pass is inch-perfect right to the feet of Messi on the doorstep for an easy tap-in. A header by Alexis Sanchez is stopped only by the fingertips of the Italian goalkeeper diving to his right, and then while sprawled on the ground, he snatches up the ball as players look to get on the rebound. Kimpembe was spotted on the PSG sideline in the second half on crutches, and with the club's defensive ranks already thin, the prospect of another defender facing a long-term absence is daunting.
