WATCH: Mbappe provides cheeky backheel assist for Messi to finish off sublime PSG team goal against Ajaccio

• Messi and Mbappe combine for sublime goal
• Argentines sixth league goal of the season
• Pair linked up for three goals in PSG win

WHAT HAPPENED? Messi and Mbappe shared a lovely exchange on the edge of the area, which resulted in the Frenchman delicately back-heeling the ball to the Argentinian, who found himself through on goal. In typical Messi fashion he rounded the Ajaccio goalkeeper and tapped home into an empty net. Simply gorgeous football!
