Lionel Messi surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo for most goals scored in Europe's top five leagues as he opened the scoring for PSG in a 1-1 draw against Strasbourg, a result that crowned the Parisians Ligue 1 winners.
Paris Saint-Germain confirmed their record 11th Ligue 1 title at Stade de la Meinau, with Messi scoring a record-breaking goal and a valiant Strasbourg side finding an equaliser to take some shine off the evening.
How it happened
PSG started on the front foot and Kylian Mbappe offered a reminder of his threat when he beat several defenders in the Strasbourg box until Ismaël Doukouré came across brilliantly to halt him.
Matz Sels made an impressive save to deny Renato Sanches’ volley from the ensuing corner before Lionel Messi found himself with a fine opening but failed to find the target.
PSG finally conjured a moment of magic before the hour mark, as Mbappé worked enough space to slide the ball across for Messi to clinically finish for his 16th league goal of the season.
Strasbourg fought hard and their efforts paid dividends in the 79th minute, when Morgan Sanson’s original effort was saved, and former PSG frontman Kevin Gameiro bundled home the rebound.
Despite failing to win, PSG wrapped up the Ligue 1 title to delight the traveling support.
