    Seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi scored his second goal in Ligue 1 as Paris Saint-Germain routed French champions LOSC Lille 5-1 on Sunday at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. It was Messi's first goal since November 2021 in France's top tier. PSG's French striker Kylian Mbappe was also on target while their Portuguese midfielder Danilo netted a brace. Here are further details.

    Why does it matter?

    It was a clinical performance from PSG. PSG needed this victory following their French Cup exit. They had lost to Nice on penalties (Round of 16). With this win, they have also warmed up for their upcoming high voltage encounter against Real Madrid later this month in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League. Meanwhile, Lille continued their disastrous Ligue 1 run.

    How the match panned out?

    Danilo netted the first goal from close range in the 10th minute after Ivo Grbic spilled Nuno Mendes' cross. Sven Botman scored the equalizer in the 28th minute. It was all PSG thereafter. Presnel Kimpembe restored PSG's lead in the 32nd minute. Six minutes later, Messi doubled it. Danilo scored the fourth goal in the 51st minute, with Mbappe (67) smashing the final goal.
