Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) fans on Twitter claimed that they don’t need Neymar after Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe led the team to glory against Olympique de Marseille. Mbappe bagged a brace while Messi scored another to earn a 3-0 win for the Parisian club in the Le Classique.

Neymar was ruled out of the clash after sustaining an ankle injury in the Parisian club’s previous match against LOSC Lille. Messi and Mbappe had the onus to carry the attack in the Brazilian superstar’s absence.

They performed the task at hand with conviction. Mbappe opened the scoring in the 25th minute with Messi being the provider. The duo combined again four minutes later as Messi netted his 700th club career goal. Mbappe was the creator-in-chief on this occasion.

The Frenchman struck again in the second half as he netted in the 55th minute to secure the win for the Parisians in the top-of-the-table clash.

Christophe Galtier’s men now hold an eight-point lead over Marseille. They have amassed 60 points from 25 matches while Marseille’s tally is at 52.

Messi, meanwhile, has now scored 17 goals this season and has provided 15 assists. Mbappe, on the other hand, has scored 28 goals and has provided seven assists this campaign.ư

Fans hailed the duo as one wrote:

“We don’t need Neymar when we have Mbappe and Messi.”
