Paris Saint-Germain duo Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe combined to a devastating effect once again against Angers in stunning style on Friday evening.

The Parisians opened the scoring after just 9 minutes thanks to Mbappe. The Frenchman then wasted no time to grab a brace 17 minutes later after a majestic display from Messi.

The Argentine phenom picked the ball up some 40 yards out and managed to provide a sublime through ball that pierced Angers' backline.

Mbappe did the rest, making no mistake in front of goal as he rounded the goalkeeper before slotting home.

Mbappe made sure to appreciate Messi's genius and immediately joined the Argentine in celebration after scoring.

It was Messi's 15th Ligue 1 assist of the year when he set up Mbappe.

How PSF defeated Angers

Sports Brief reported that Kylian Mbappe scored twice as Paris Saint-Germain took another step towards securing the Ligue 1 title despite an unconvincing performance in beating bottom club Angers 2-1 on Friday.

Mbappe scored the opener in the ninth minute and added another before the half-hour mark to move clear as the French top flight's leading marksman on 22 goals for the campaign.

It looked like PSG might go on to record a big victory but they eased off in the second half and relegation-bound Angers pulled a goal back late on through Sada Thioub.

Barcelona confident of signing Messi

Sports Brief earlier reported that Barcelona are not just itching to sign Lionel Messi to improve their results on the pitch, but also intend to use his return to Camp Nou to boost the economic growth of the club.

The Catalan giants have been in a financial mess for a few years and had to activate up to six financial levers at the start of the season, to be able to fund the transfer of players.

The Argentine's presence was worth around €250-300 million to La Blaugrana before he left in 2021 and re-signing him will guarantee more sponsorships and endorsements for the Catalan club.
