Messi, Mbappe lead PSG to win vs. Leipzig

Give the ball to Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi and let them do the rest. PSG's used that strategy to success in a home Champions League match against RB Leipzig, coming from behind to win 3-2. Messi scored twice and Mbappe had a hand in all three goals with one goal, one assist and one drawn penalty.

PSG stays atop Group A, one point ahead of Manchester City, while RB Leipzig's chances are now faint with three matches remaining. The German side, coached by American Jesse Marsch, is at the bottom of Group A after three straight losses.

It was a tough result for Leipzig, who arguably deserved more and probably felt like they could leave the Parc des Prince in Paris with a famous victory when the visitors took a 2-1 lead with about a half hour to go. But Messi scored twice in the span of 10 minutes to overturn the result, though both goals came from Leipzig gifts.
