Van den Bomen then opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a free kick that left Gianluigi Donnarumma with both feet stuck in the ground.

Marquinhos grabbed a Messi free kick only for its deflection to hit the post 12 minutes before the break, but Hakimi was more accurate five minutes later with a superbly curled effort from outside the box.

Messi curled another into the bottom corner from outside the area in the 58th minute to put PSG decisively ahead, coming close to adding another in stoppage time only to hit the post.

Stade Rennais’ Champions League hopes later took a major knock when they squandered a 1–0 advantage and lost 3–1 at home to Lille thanks to late goals by Rémy Cabella and Andre Gomes. Because of that she won.

Rennes is fifth with 40 points, while Lille is sixth, two points behind him.

Olympique Lyonnais continued to improve as goals from their youngsters Bradley Barkola and Ryan Cherky saw them beat Troyes 3–1.

Laurent Blanc’s side, however, remained at the eighth position with 32 points.
