The match started with Marseille seizing the initiative, and it was not long before Alexis Sanchez put them ahead. Cengiz Under doubled their lead just before halftime, leaving PSG with a mountain to climb. However, Messi had other plans. The Argentine maestro ignited the comeback with a breathtaking solo goal in the 55th minute, cutting Marseille’s lead to one. Just six minutes later, Sergio Ramos’ towering header drew PSG level. As the match entered its final stages, the tension was palpable. Both teams traded blows, but it was Messi who had the final say. In the 95th minute, he curled a delightful free-kick into the top corner, sending the Parc des Princes into raptures. The victory was a massive statement of intent from PSG, who had struggled for form in recent weeks. Messi, in particular, proved that he remains a force to be reckoned with, despite his advancing age. “It’s a great victory,” said a delighted Messi. “We knew it would be a tough match, but we showed character and determination.” Marseille manager Igor Tudor admitted that Messi’s brilliance was too much to handle. “We played well, but Messi is a special player,” said Tudor. “He can change the game in an instant.” The result leaves PSG top of Ligue 1, one point clear of Marseille. With Messi firing on all cylinders, the Parisians will be confident of extending their lead in the coming weeks.
