Messi joins the party with curling shot into the goal

PSG were on fire in the first half of their game at the Parc des Princes against Brugge. Mauricio Pochettino's men were 3-0 up at half-time. 

Kylian Mbappe, with a brace in the blink of an eye, gave PSG a commanding lead and Leo Messi ended any chance of a fightback in the closing stages of the first period. 

The Argentine was trying in every way possible during the first 45, but he seemed unable to score despite creating great goalscoring opportunities. However, the seven time Ballon d'Or winner kept his calm and the goal came.

After a tremendous run by Mbappe, the Argentine went diagonally towards the left hand portion of the middle of the pitch and he set himself for the curling shot to the far post which is so typical of him. He was unstoppable for a Mignolet who could not do anything to prevent Messi's third goal of this season's Champions League.
