Lionel Messi scored a stunning effort to put Paris Saint-Germain ahead in Wednesday evening's Champions League clash at Benfica.
It was a superb, curling finish from the Argentine to cap a flowing team move from Les Parisiens after Benfica started the stronger. It was a move that involved both Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, with their wonderful link-up play finding Messi - who produced the outrageous finish.
It was a flowing team move that began in earnest with wing-back Achraf Hakimi on the right flank, as he cut inside to find midfielder Vitinha who immediately looked up to find Messi. The former Barcelona star then drove forward at the Benfica defence and passed it to the feet of Mbappe, with his back to goal.
