Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos find the net as PSG clinches a 2-0 win against Nice and stretches its lead to six points at the top of the Ligue1 table.
How was Mbappe missed that? PSG breaks on a counter as Hakimi carries the ball inside the Nice penalty area. Schmeichel comes out and prevents Hakimi from taking the shot. The ball falls to Messi and instead of going for the shot at the open net, he passes to Mbappe. Mbappe takes his time and eventually takes his shot but blasts his effort over the goal. That was a bizarre miss to bo honest.

It is a strong run from Thuram as he pierced the PSG defence. He tries to slip a ball for Aaron Ramsey but ends up conceding possession.

HOW HAS THAT NOT GONE IN?- Nice keeps the pressure on with a corner. Dante gets the ball and shoots on the volley. The effort beats Donnarumma, hits the underside of the crossbar and looks to have gone in but the whole of the ball did not cross the line. PSG with a huge let off there.
