Our Champions League elimination is done and there was pain which is still felt but we have to show that we are a great team at a great club which wants to win trophies." "There has been plenty to delay us, but life is like that -- sometimes you win and other times you lose. "We are happy," Mbappe said after the match. The performance, admittedly against one of the lower lights in Le Championnat, is proof that PSG's star attacking trio can click as was their heavy win over Lorient last week. We continue towards the 10th Ligue 1 title which is not too far now, and we are satisfied. Neymar got his second from the spot with 19 minutes to go before Mbappe added his second from the Brazilian's assist and completed his hat-trick thanks to Messi within six minutes of each other before providing for Neymar to complete the scoring.

The problem is that a lot of people don’t listen, since the start of the season we have been saying that it takes time to create an understanding between them, not only on the pitch but also in the dressing room,” said Pochettino. PSG only have Ligue 1 left to play for this season after being knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid, but put in a second straight impressive performance with Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi in fine form. He added another assist and won a penalty in this game as he moved to the top of the Ligue 1 goalscoring charts with 20 goals this season.

The second assist was more difficult. Another assist to Mbappe would be the third as he would run towards the Clermont back line, pass it to Mbappe who would score from the edge of the penalty area. Messi didn’t score but did assist three times for PSG. The first assist came from the edge of the penalty area where he passed it to Neymar who scored to give PSG the 1-0 lead.
Beyond the Man City-Liverpool thriller, there was plenty going on: PSG's stars found form, Madrid and Barcelona won, Serie A's title race tightened.
It took time for Conte to get his methods across and tough games remain against Arsenal and Liverpool, but Tottenham have hit form at the right time. Now Arsenal must right the ship away from home: Five of their last eight matches are away from the Emirates Stadium, including trips to Chelsea, West Ham and Tottenham. -- Connelly It is remarkable that, when United sought to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, they passed up the opportunity to appoint the Italian. Guiding Spurs into the Champions League would be some response. They had taken 31 points from their past 13 league matches, losing only to Liverpool and Manchester City in the process. After a 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday, the Gunners did not really find a spark against Brighton on Saturday until too late. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's and Pedri's goals are also worth a second viewing, although as much for assists from Ousmane Dembele and Gavi. Barca's good work in attack was almost undone at the back as they gave away three penalties. It means the title is now in Inter's hands, but there are likely to be more twists and turns during the run-in. -- Kirkland That handed Milan, chasing a first Scudetto since 2011, the chance to move four points clear at the summit, but they could not break down Torino and drew 0-0. When Lucas Vazquez added a second, the odds of an upset were reduced from slim to none as Madrid moved three points closer to title glory. Napoli were up first, but went down 3-2 against to Fiorentina at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. (Just imagine what he might have done with a few more Champions League matches.) Messi, meanwhile, moved to 13 league assists.

Substitute Kevin Volland grabbed the winner (57') to keep the principality side in sixth position and still in with a shout of Champions League qualification. We must now recover and get the players ready for Thursday (against PAOK). Then there will be Sunday's game (vs PSG), with very little preparation time, but we will try to keep hold of second place." Unfortunately, everyone is pretty much at 100% at the wrong time of the season and it's a shame but I am very happy with everything that we are showing on the pitch. "I am very pleased to have scored my first hat-trick of the season and even happier with the win," said Neymar who is in the midst of his best form of the season. Jodel Dossou replied for the hosts (42'). Paris Saint-Germain took another giant step towards the title, Marseille and Rennes cemented their positions on the podium and Bordeaux gave themselves a fighting chance of survival.
