Lionel Messi has been named man of the match for his stunning free-kick goal against Nice, helping Paris Saint-Germain to victory in Ligue 1 Round 8.

The Argentine forward, who has been in sensational form this season, scored the decisive goal with a powerful effort from outside the box, which proved to be the difference between the two sides as they went into the final whistle level at 2-2.

Messi's goal was just one of many highlights for PSG, who dominated much of the game but were ultimately unable to find the back of the net themselves. However, their attacking prowess was evident throughout the match, with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe both creating numerous opportunities for their team-mates.

Despite the loss, Nice will take heart from their performance, especially considering that they were trailing by two goals going into the second half. The French side have shown real resilience this season, and it remains to be seen whether they can continue to fight back against the odds.

Overall, it was a superb display from PSG, and Messi was instrumental in securing all three points. With his impressive performances, he is cementing his reputation as one of the greatest footballers of all time, and his impact on the game cannot be overstated.
