Christophe Galtier says working with Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe is the “Holy Grail” of coaching after the trio combined to devastating effect in Paris Saint-Germain’s win over Maccabi Haifa.
PSG thrashed Haifa 7-2 to secure their place in the last-16 of the Champions League on Tuesday night. Messi and Mbappe both scored twice, with Neymar also finding the back of the net alongside Carlos Soler and an own goal from Sean Goldberg.
It was a stunning performance from the French giants, whose all-star front three were on scintillating form, tearing the away side’s defence to pieces time and time again. Messi ended the night with two new records, but could not complete a ninth Champions League hat-trick which would have taken him one clear of Cristiano Ronaldo in the competition.
