Lionel Messi scored in his first game since leading Argentina to the World Cup title as French league leader Paris Saint-Germain beat Angers 2-0 on Wednesday.
Nearly four weeks after the final against France in Qatar, Messi needed only five minutes to make an impact. He turned neatly near the penalty area and threaded a pass to right back Nordi Mukiele, whose cross was turned in by 20-year-old forward Hugo Ekitike.
Messi was given a warm ovation by the crowd at Parc des Princes, who chanted his name when he applauded them back. PSG's players warmed up wearing T-shirts with Pele's face on. The Brazilian great who won a record three World Cups, died in late December at the age of 82. Rennes is level on points with fifth-place Monaco, which needed a stoppage-time equalizer from top scorer Wissam Ben Yedder to draw 2-2 at sixth-place Lorient. Nigeria striker Terem Moffi grabbed his 11th goal for Lorient, moving him level with PSG's Neymar and two behind scoring leader Mbappe.Lyon coach Laurent Blanc described Nantes manager Antoine Kombouare as "more than a close friend" before the game. Their teams drew 0-0, as did Brest and seventh-placed Lille.
