World Cup foes Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe inspired Paris St Germain (PSG) to a 3-0 win at bitter rivals Olympique de Marseille on Sunday to extend their Ligue 1 lead to eight points. Mbappe, who bagged a double, was set up by Messi for both his goals, and repaid the favor by laying on another for the Argentine forward as PSG, who were without the injured Neymar, moved to 60 points from 25 games with second-placed Marseille on 52. France forward Mbappe, who was on the losing side against Messi’s Argentina in the World Cup final, became PSG’s joint record scorer with 200 goals – level with Edinson Cavani – while Messi netted his 700th in club football.
