Lionel Messi's skill to escape Lorient player in PSG win was sublime

Lionel Messi was on the scoresheet as Paris Saint-Germain cruised to a 5-1 win against Lorient on Sunday.

The Argentinian scored his third Ligue 1 goal of the season as Mauricio Pochettino’s side moved closer to claiming the title.

Messi’s debut season in Paris hasn’t been the free-scoring affair many expected but look a bit closer and you’ll still see that the 34-year-old still has the ability to produce moments of magic.

Indeed, his skills were on show in the win over Lorient.

Kylian Mbappe and Neymar stole the headlines after both scored braces.

And Messi put a bow on proceedings when he smashed home PSG’s fifth in the 73rd minute.

Superb from PSG
