PSG can beat Marseille to the French Ligue 1 title when Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Neymar & Co. face high-flying Lens at the Parc des Princes.

10th min.: PSG have a chance to swing a cross in from a free-kick near the penalty area on the left. The major news for PSG is the potential return to the starting XI of Neymar — he missed the Angers game through a ban — and Messi, sidelined for that match by an Achilles tendon injury. A foul is adjudged to have taken place as the delivery soars into the sky, and Lens are awarded a free-kick. The wideman shows his blistering pace to race clear on the right and enter the penalty area. Kimpembe shows fine timing a bravery to block the danger behind. His final touch on the run is perhaps a little heavy, giving him little choice but to shoot from a fairly acute angle, rather than cross for a teammate. Mbappe then almost finds space inside the penalty area with a delicate touch, but can't get a clear sight of goal. The seventh-placed side in Ligue 1 continue to pose a threat. Then Kimpembe tries a shot from outside the danger zone in a central area, and Danso blocks it away. 37th min.: A PSG corner from their left comes to nothing. PSG start on the front foot, perhaps suggesting that Pochettino has urged them to right the wrongs of the first half during the next 45 minutes. PSG have had 64 percent of the possession but as many shots on target as Lens: two.

Lionel Messi may not have scored as many Ligue 1 goals for Paris Saint-Germain as they'd have expected but he's saved a stunner for a big night in Paris.

His passing has still been as good as it has in the past but, considering his previous worst goals return from a full league season was 10 in 2007/08, it's been a rubbish season by his lofty standards but also by anyone's earning his kind of money.

However, Lens wouldn't quietly slip into the shadows of PSG's celebrations. It took until the 68th minute for Lionel Messi to finally break the deadlock. On a night when a single point would be enough for PSG to claim the league crown, seventh-placed Lens represented an obdurate opponent. Quick thinking from Kylian Mbappe almost broke the deadlock in the second half. ST: Kylian Mbappe - 5/10 - One of the few players that could spark a swell of sound from a stubborn crowd but missed a number of presentable openings. CB: Marquinhos - 5/10 - Sporadically rotating with Sergio Ramos through the middle of PSG's back-three, Marquinhos was also tasked with aggressively stepping forward to snap at the heels of the forward receiving possession.

There was still time for the winner as Mbappe fizzled a strike just wide from Neymar's knock down in stoppage time but ultimately the sides shared the spoils. The Parisians were on the front foot coming from the half-time break as Mbappe came close to breaking the deadlock seven minutes into the second stanza after going clear on goal but he was denied by Leca in a one-on-one. Lens were not lying down and were asking questions of the Parisians but a combination of shot-stopper Keylor Navas' firmness and a lack of a killer instinct from the visitors ensured the sides were still deadlocked at half-time.
