Messi’s two goals against Marseille was not counted.

PSG are now in pole position to reclaim the Ligue 1 title from Lille

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) recorded a 2-1 win against Marseille at the Parc des Princes and extended their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 standings to 15 points. Mauricio Pochettino’s side look well set to reclaim their domestic crown from Lille and took another step towards doing so with a victory in Le Classique.

Neymar broke the deadlock for PSG with a sensational first-time finish as he lobbed the ball past goalkeeper Pau Lopez after getting on the end of a Marco Verratti pass. The Parisians, however, looked a bit sluggish after scoring and were made to pay as Duje Caleta-Car poked the ball home from close range after Gigi Donnarumma failed to collect a corner.

The PSG goalkeeper has been underwhelming in recent weeks and once again cost his team a goal to gift Marseille a way back into the game. Lionel Messi produced multiple flashes of brilliance in the first half, but the Argentine had two goals chalked off for offside as he failed to add to his tally of three Ligue 1 goals this season.

The home side, however, did manage to get in front just before the interval, as Kylian Mbappe calmly converted a penalty after PSG were awarded a spot-kick upon consultation with VAR for a handball.
