Argentine star Lionel Messi led his team, Paris Saint-Germain, to the top of the table of the French Football League, after its victory with a clean goal against its host Olympique Lyon in the eighth stage of the competition.

The balance of Saint-Germain (the title holder), who achieved his seventh victory in the championship this season against a single draw, rose to 22 points in the lead, two points ahead of his closest rivals, his traditional rival Olympique Marseille.

On the other hand, Olympique Lyonnais, which continued its shaky results by receiving its third consecutive loss in the competition, stopped at 13 points in sixth place.

Messi scored the only goal in the match at Groupama Stadium in the fifth minute.
