Mbappé and Messi combine as leader PSG wins at Marseille

Marseille 0, PSG 3Kylian Mbappé scored twice and Lionel Messi got the other goal as the World Cup final stars combined to give French league leader Paris Saint-Germain a 3-0 win at title challenger Marseille. What better place to do it than at bitter rival Marseille, where PSG lost in the French Cup earlier this month without the injured Mbappé in the team? A win would have moved second-place Marseille within two points of defending champion PSG. Galtier is from Marseille and played for the club as a gritty defender, which means some Marseille fans are simply unable to understand why he is coaching PSG. Defeat means Marseille is now only two points ahead of third-place Monaco and fourth-place Lens, which both have 50 points.
