Lionel Messi lets PSG rush in Ligue 1

France’s champions Paris Saint-Germain are again setting themselves apart from the competition thanks to their superstar Lionel Messi.

The Argentinian’s early winning goal (5th) in the 1-0 (1-0) win at Olympique Lyon allowed PSG to extend its lead at the top of the table to two points after eight rounds over the still undefeated pursuers Olympique Marseille.

In addition to Messi’s sixth goal in the last four games, the capital team also benefited from Marseille’s 1-1 (0-1) draw at Stade Rennes.
