PSG 3-2 RB Leipzig: Player ratings as Messi inspires second-half comeback

A second-half Lionel Messi brace helped Paris Saint-Germain come back from 2-1 down to secure a 3-2 victory over a spirited RB Leipzig side on Tuesday night.

The victory moved PSG back to the top of Champions League Group A after three games, with Mauricio Pochettino's charges one point clear of Man City in second.

The home side survived an early scare when Christopher Nkunku burst through on goal and laid-off Konrad Laimer, only for the goal-shy midfielder to fluff his finish.

Inside 10 minutes Leipzig were made to pay for their wastefulness when PSG cut them open with a free-flowing counter attack which was eventually finished by Kylian Mbappe.

As the first half progressed Leipzig grew into the game with Andre Silva hitting the woodwork with a half-volley just before the half-hour mark. Minutes later Silva did score, arriving at the back post to slide home Angelino's cross.
