Twitter explodes as Lionel Messi scores winning goal in PSG's 2-1 triumph over Toulouse

Fans on Twitter exploded as Lionel Messi scored the winner to complete a come-from-behind 2-1 win for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) against Toulouse on Saturday, February 4. With Neymar and Kylian Mbappe absent from the team due to injuries, the onus was on Messi to guide his team to victory. The Parisians, however, didn’t get off to an ideal start. Branco van den Boomen found the back of the net in the 20th minute of the game to give the visitors the lead at the Parc des Princes. Achraf Hakimi restored parity for Christophe Galtier’s team with his strike in the 38th minute of the match. The teams headed down the tunnel for the half-time break with the score being level at 1-1. Messi gave his side the lead in the 58th minute of the match. Hakimi was the creator-in-chief this time around with his mazy run. Messi took the ball from the former Real Madrid man and fired his effort past Maxime Dupe from outside the area. The goal marked Messi’s 15th across competitions this season and 10th in Ligue 1. The Parisians, meanwhile, extended their lead over Marseille at the top of the Ligue 1 table to eight points.
