Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi score two each as Paris Saint-Germain beat Club Brugge

Messi has now become the third player in PSG’s history to score in his opening three home games in the Champions League. The Argentine – who won his seventh Ballon d’Or last Monday – has endured a comparatively slow start to his PSG career since joining on a free transfer from Barcelona in the summer, but there are signs he’s beginning to find his feet and return to his true level.

Messi’s first was a goal we’ve seen him score a thousand times in the past. He finished with precision after some fantastic work by Mbappe in the buildup. His second was a well-taken penalty kick. PSG were already guaranteed their place in the last 16 of the Champions League before the game. They finished second in their group, a point behind Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
