The Argentine star opened the scoring for the hosts by whipping a dead ball in from almost 25 yards out, with Nice goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel rooted to the spot. It was the 60th direct free-kick of his career but a first in PSG colors, as Messi once more reminded everyone of his set-piece prowess.

He said (via Get France Football News): “I have an incredible pleasure to see him every morning in training. He’s in good spirits, very happy. He is a very selfless player, who animates the game and has always been used to scoring. "He’s getting the taste for scoring again. Can he become the best player in the world again? Yes, if he’s in incredible form this summer. He is well prepared. He’s happy. And when he’s happy, he performs well.” The goal was also a testament to Messi's scintillating form this season as he extended his tally to seven in all competitions, including five in Ligue 1. However, it alone wasn't enough as Gaetan Laborde equalized for The Eagles two minutes after the restart. Kylian Mbappe then came off the bench to score the winner in the 83rd minute.

PSG on their longest unbeaten run in Ligue 1 By avoiding defeat once again, the Paris-based outfit extended their unbeaten run in Ligue 1 to 18 games, stretching all the way back to April last season. During this run, the Parisians have scored 59 goals while conceding only 14 times - a testament to their dominant domestic form. Under Galtier, the French champions have looked more solid on all fronts, but his biggest accomplishment so far has been to get the best out of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. The Champions League remains a priority at the club and that's where the new manager will have to deliver. Paul Merson predicts Arsenal vs Liverpool and other EPL GW 10 fixtures!
