Football fans on social media were blown away by Lionel Messi's goal, which saw him and Kylian Mbappe combine brilliantly for a genuine goal of the season contender.

Messi continued his scintillating form this campaign as he scored one and provided two assists in Paris Saint-Germain's win at Ajaccio in Ligue 1.

The reigning French champions cruised to a 3-0 victory at the Stade Francois Coty, thanks to a superb display by the Argentine genius.

Orchestrating the move was Messi, who laid a pass to Spanish defender Juan Bernat on the right wing before receiving possession again from the left-back.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner then exchanged a quick one-two with Mbappe, who backheeled the ball into the path of Messi.

The dribbling magician then kept his composure to round the goalkeeper before scoring a beautiful team goal.

Christophe Galtier's side made it 3-0 three minutes later, with Messi again setting up Mbappe to score his second of the night.

PSG boss praises Lionel Messi

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier singled out Lionel Messi for praise following his man-of-the-match performance against Ajaccio in the French Ligue 1.

Leo Messi scored once and provided two assists, as Les Parisiens strolled past relegation-threatened Ajaccio to keep their unbeaten start to the season intact.

A brace from Kylian Mbappe and one the Argentine playmaker were enough to hand Galtier's charges a comfortable win on the road, while strengthening their grip at the summit of the table.

Mbappe misses simple chance from close range

Sports Brief earlier reported that Kylian Mbappe proved that he could amaze fans with his misses as well.

That was the case when PSG took on AC Ajaccio in Ligue 1, as Mbappé scored a beauty but also missed an absolute sitter.

The Frenchman opened the scoring for the visitors in the 24th minute of the game when he ran onto a Lionel Messi through ball, producing a clinical finish to find the back of the net.
