PSG got exactly the start they wanted when Kylian Mbappe set the lead in the ninth minute.
But Leipzig did not give up.
A post shot in the first half was followed by an equalizer.
A nice attacking play ended with a precise pass to André Silva, who only needed to put the wide side to 1-1.
It did not end there for Leipzig, in the second half came 2-1 through Nordi Mukiele.
Unfortunately for the away team, however, a certain Argentine would come to life.
Messi stepped forward
With Neymar injured, it was the big star Leo Messi who decided the match for PSG.
First, he equalized to 2-2 and with just over a quarter left, the home team was awarded a penalty kick.
Leo Messi stepped forward and struck with a panenka penalty when he chipped the ball into goal.
3-2 PSG which was also the end result.
It could have been more for the home team but Mbappe burned a penalty kick in extra time.
Emil Forsberg was given a chance to change things around.
PSG now tops their group ahead of Manchester City.
