Ligue 1 result - Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos secure crucial win for leaders Paris-Saint German against Nice at the Allianz Riviera

Messi breaks the deadlock as he helps Nuno Mendes's driven low pass into the far corner.

Danilo is left free to meet a left-wing cross but plants his firm header against the foot of the post. Schmeichel reacts fastest to the rebound and denies PSG a tap-in.

Moffi has netted three goals in his last four matches against Paris in Ligue 1 (during his time at Lorient).

The forward has been involved in six of Nice's last eight goals in the top-flight (4 goals, 2 assists).

Moffi sets off on a solo charge. He steps into the right side of the area,throws in a succession of stepovers and then fires in a low shot that Donnarumma saves at his near post.

Thuram cuts in from the left and arcs a fizzing effort wide of the far post.

The home team are starting to respond with some clever football.

Pepe curves way over the bar from 25 yards out after patient build up involving Ramsey and Dante.

The hosts have yet to really get a foothold in the game but they are remaining organised and compact when required.

Marquinhos'speculative drive is blocked into the path of Messi who can only drill straight at Schmeichel from 22 yards out.

That's a blow for the away side. Sanches is forced off injured with what could be a recurrence of the hamstring problem he's had recently.

Fabian on.

Messi is at the heart of another PSG attack that ends with a thumping shot from Soler being well blocked. That looked like it may have posed a problem for Schmeichel in the Nice goal.

Nice seem content to sit back and await an opportunity to counter attack.

Messi is the first to show with a 25-yard effort that flashes just past Schmeichel's right-hand post.

Nice are unbeaten in their last 10 home games in Ligue 1 (5 wins, 5 draws). They haven't had a better run at home since March 2016-April 2017.

PSG are on a run of six defeats in 10 games and desperately need a big result too ease the pressure on Christophe Galtier.

PSG get us underway.

"They are the last French team still in Europe. They are a team that has not been beaten since Didier Digard was appointed as manager. They are a team with a lot of certainties and players with a lot of confidence. As always there, there will be a great atmosphere but we have to be much better than in the last few games with much more effort and initiative. We have conceded too many goals in the last few games, and they are a great team in transition so we’ll need to be careful."

Kylian Mbappe (107) and Lionel Messi (102) are the only two players to have attempted at least 100 shots in Ligue 1 so far this term.

They are also the only two players to have been involved in at least 150 moves leading to an effort (176 for Messi, 166 for Mbappé).
