The Parisian giants were utterly dominant as they look to reclaim the league title from Lille this season. Speaking after picking up three points on the night, Pochettino expressed his delight and said:
Paris Saint-Germain put in a complete away performance to stamp out their authority in the league. Goals from Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Presnel Kimpembe and a brace from Danilo Pereira were enough to secure all three points for PSG.
Danilo Pereira was arguably one of PSG’s best players on the pitch. The defensive midfielder surprised many by scoring twice, including teammate Nuno Mendes, who applauded his performance against Lille.
Mendes said:
As things stand, Paris Saint-Germain are 13 points clear of second-placed Olympique Marseille in the league standings. The Parisian giants have currently accumulated 56 points from 23 matches this season.
Lionel Messi had a great outing for PSG against Lille last night
It is fair to say that Lionel Messi has not been at his absolute best in a PSG shirt this season. However, the 34-year-old forward had a performance to remember against Lille.
Messi scored only his second Ligue 1 goal of the campaign by chipping Lille goalkeeper Ivo Grbic to score PSG’s third goal. The former Barcelona superstar also provided an assist for Presnel Kimpembe’s goal.
Paris Saint-Germain will next take on Rennes at the Parc des Princes before hosting Real Madrid in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. The Parisian outfit could have an upper hand over Los Blancos if Messi continues to play with his newfound confidence.
