Video: Mbappe Assists Messi for a Crucial Goal As PSG Opens Up an Early 2-0 Lead vs. Montpellier

For the first time since Paris Saint-Germain’s UEFA Champions League home group stage fixture against Club Brugge, Lionel Messi has notched a double.

In the early stages of PSG’s Ligue 1 away fixture against Montpellier, Kylian Mbappe once again played the role of a playmaker for Messi, as he dished off an assist-making pass to the Argentine to double the side’s lead. Messi rounded Montpellier goalkeeper Dimitry Bertaud with ease for his sixth goal of the Ligue 1 campaign.

¡GOL DE MESSI! 🤩
