Ligue 1: Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe on target as PSG thrash sorry Lille

L ionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe both scored as Paris Saint-Germain stretched their mammoth lead at the top of Ligue 1 to 13 points with a 5-1 thrashing of defending champions Lille on Sunday.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men were given a helping hand by a nightmarish display from Lille goalkeeper Ivo Grbic at the Stade PierreMauroy. Portuguese midfielder Danilo Pereira netted twice, while Presnel Kimpembe also got on the scoresheet. All eyes in the capital remain on Paris’ Champions League last-16 first leg against Real Madrid on 15 February.

Mbappe, who has long been linked with Real, said that match has been the reason he is yet to make a decision about his future, despite having been free to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club since the start of last month.
