Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have secured their place at the top of Ligue 1 after defeating Lyon 4-0 in a thrilling match. The result was made even more impressive by the fact that Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick and provided an additional ten assists for his team.
The Argentine forward has been in stunning form this season, scoring 26 goals in just 28 appearances for PSG. His hat-trick on Sunday was particularly memorable as he scored twice in the first half and then added another in the second to complete a sensational performance.
Messi's tally of ten assists also set a new record for the player, who previously held the mark of nine assists from his previous campaign. He has now become the most-assisted player in the history of French football.
It is not just Messi who has shone brightly for PSG this season. The likes of Kylian Mbappe, Angel Di Maria and Neymar Jr. have all contributed to the team's success, but it is clear that Messi is the driving force behind their recent dominance in the league.
The win over Lyon was a testament to PSG's strength in depth and their ability to adapt to different opponents. The team showed great resilience throughout the match, never giving up until they had secured victory.
The result means that PSG will be crowned champions of France for the fourth time in five seasons, and they will go into next season knowing that they can challenge for the title again. It is an impressive achievement for the club, and one that will no doubt inspire them to greater things in the future.
