The match was illuminated by Kylian Mbappé’s sensational hat-trick, which showcased his exceptional brilliance and the gulf in class between the two sides. Mbappé opened the scoring in clinical fashion just five minutes into the match. Intercepting a loose pass, he surged forward with pace and unleashed a powerful drive into the bottom corner. Marseille struggled to keep up with the pace and intensity set by PSG, and Mbappé capitalized again in the 25th minute. Receiving a cross from Lionel Messi, he took a clever first touch to evade two defenders before firing the ball home with his left foot. The home crowd erupted in thunderous applause as Mbappé completed his hat-trick in the 55th minute. A long ball from Marco Verratti found the Frenchman in space on the left flank, and he raced away from the Marseille defenders with ease. Cutting inside, he curled a beautiful shot into the far corner for his third goal of the evening. Marseille’s hopes of a comeback were extinguished as PSG continued to dominate possession and create chances. Messi and Neymar Jr. were both impressive, linking up seamlessly with Mbappé to torment the Marseille defense. Gianluigi Donnarumma remained largely untested in goal for PSG, as the visitors failed to register a single shot on target. The victory extends PSG’s unbeaten run in Le Classique to nine matches and solidifies their position at the top of Ligue 1. Marseille, meanwhile, remain in second place but now trail their bitter rivals by eight points. Mbappé’s hat-trick was a statement of intent from the young forward, who continues to prove that he is among the best players in the world. His performance overshadowed the absence of Neymar, who was suspended for the match, and showed that PSG have more than enough firepower to overcome even the toughest challenges.
