Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar ran the show from the front as Paris Saint-Germain triumphed 4-3 in a thrilling encounter against LOSC Lille.
The trio, who make up comfortably the most feared attack in world football, simply can't be stopped when they are all firing and that was certainly the case on Sunday.
Whilst many of their teammates across the defence and midfield turned in a poor day at the office, PSG's attack digged them out of trouble by contributing four impressive goals.
Each of the trio scored, with Mbappe bagging a brace, but it was Messi who will get the plaudits thanks to his last-minute winner from a free-kick.

In what was truly a piece of genius from the Argentine, he stepped up and wrong-footed Lille's goalkeeper, sending it beyond the stopper in the 95th minute of play and claiming the three points for his team.

The whole stadium erupted upon the ball hitting the back of the net, whilst Messi's teammates couldn't get enough of the star and swamped him celebrating.
Although it was the actions of Mbappe in particular who caught the eye of fans on the day.
Much has been made of the Frenchman's relationship with Messi, Neymar and several other members of the PSG squad after some awkward looking on-pitch moments were captured in footage across 2022.
However, it's fair to say that Mbappe couldn't stop hugging Messi after he scored against Lille, passionately embracing him after scoring and again after the game.
Let's not forget, Messi's Argentina beat Mbappe's France in an end-to-end World Cup final just two months ago. But that doesn't seem to be playing on anyone's mind with any apparent tension looking to have passed by this point.
That kind of camaraderie will be key for the Parisian outfit if they want to achieve their objectives for 2022/23, especially after losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie.
They'll need all hands on deck on March 8th if they are to overturn that deficit in Munich.
