Paris Saint-Germain took a major step towards the championship by crushing Olympique Marseille 4-0. A hat-trick from Kylian Mbappé and a goal from Vitinha secured a confident victory for the Parisians in this crucial derby.
Mbappe dominates in the classic
The French forward recorded his 12th career hat-trick for PSG, scoring in the 18th, 54th, and 77th minutes. Vitinha sealed the score in the 89th minute with a spectacular strike from outside the penalty area.
When Kylian is in this form, stopping him is impossible. Today he showed why he's considered the best player in the world.
