The superstar destroyed Marseille alongside teammate Kylian Mbappe, who scored the game’s first goal in the 25th minute thanks to a Messi assist. A short while later, Mbappe assisted the World Cup champion in tapping the ball into the net of goalkeeper Pau Lopez.
Messi has now racked up 28 goals for PSG, grounding this season as one of his best with the Parisians.
The star duo not only extended their Ligue 1 lead to eight points, but France’s wonderboy became PSG’s joint record scorer with 200 goals – level with all-time leader Edinson Cavani.
Mbappe’s brace leads him to mark 29 goals in 29 games with PSG this season.

Meanwhile, already missing Neymar, Christophe Galtier-side will now be missing an additional star after Presnel Kimpembe was carried off the pitch.
Kimpembe is expected to miss the entire season, in which Coach Galtier describes as an “Achilles tendon injury.”
The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner received support from Mbappe, who wrote on Instagram, “stay strong, my brother.”
Messi is out of contract at PSG this June and has yet to commit to signing a new deal at the club.
