The Argentine maestro then set up Kylian Mbappé for PSG’s second goal in the 73rd minute, before capping off the night with a trademark solo effort in the 88th minute. Mbappé’s goal was equally impressive, as he raced past the Bayern defense and slotted the ball past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

The 35-year-old showed that he still has the ability to produce moments of sheer brilliance that can turn the tide of a game. With Messi in such devastating form, PSG will be confident of progressing to the latter stages of the Champions League. The Argentine magician continues to light up the competition and mesmerize football fans around the world.
