Hakimi managed to net the equaliser in the 38th minute to give Messi the chance to score the winner.

The goal is the latest in Messi’s fine season in which he has already found the net ten times in 18 league games.

He has also been able to provide ten assists for his team-mates in the same competition.

PSG are keen to keep hold of the Argentine star with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.

Messi is wanted by clubs in Saudi Arabia as well as MLS side Inter Miami.
