Fresh from a dominant win in Le Classique and plentiful success at FIFA’s The Best awards just down the road, Paris Saint-Germain resume the Ligue 1 title fight at home to Nantes on Saturday night.
Les Parisiens put Marseille to the sword 3-0 last weekend, while Les Canaris continued the defence of their Coupe de France by beating Lens 2-1 in midweek.
The two-man show of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe lit up the Orange Velodrome last weekend – much to the dismay of the home supporters – who witnessed the Parisiens’ epoch-making attackers write new chapters of history in that top-of-the-table encounter.
A brace for Mbappe took him level with Edinson Cavani as PSG’s highest goalscorer of all time on 200 strikes – doing so in a mere 246 games – and the Frenchman turned provider for Messi to score his 700th club career goal in between his two strikes, both of which were set up by the silky Argentine.
