Lionel Messi scored a stunning free kick and Kylian Mbappe struck a late winner off the bench as Paris Saint-Germain beat Nice 2-1 at the Parc des Princes on Saturday.

Lionel Messi gave PSG a 29th-minute lead with a sumptuous, curling free-kick which sailed over the Nice wall and past goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

But Nice, the former club of current PSG coach Christophe Galtier, answered back shortly after half-time through Gaetan Laborde.

But substitute Mbappe struck in the 83rd minute to seal PSG's seventh win in a row in all competitions.
