Lille now have eight men in the box as they hoist the ball forwards, but Pereira stands firm to nod it clear. The visitors have been excellent throughout this game, but it looks like PSG's star-studded forwards have done enough, with each of Mbappe, Neymar and Messi on the scoresheet!
90' +5
L. Messi has scored a goal for PSG!
GOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLL! IT HAD TO BE HIM! MESSI MAKES IT 4-3 TO PSG! Incredible scenes at the Parc des Princes as PSG surely snatch a stoppage-time winner. Messi has been quiet throughout, but that free-kick always looked to be ideally placed for him, and he does the honours by whipping a curling effort off the inside of the right-hand post and in! It's cruel on Lille, but it's sensational from Messi!
90' +3
B. André gets yellow.
Andre is cautioned for bringing Messi down following a brilliant turn of pace from the Argentine.

Benat receives Verratti's well-timed pass before cutting back for Mbappe, who stretches to poke the ball into the bottom-left corner! We're all square again, and PSG's players rush back to the centre circle – they want a winner!
85'
Zaire-Emery concedes a cheap foul on halfway, allowing Lille to circulate possession. Time is running out for the under-fire hosts, and in truth, they have never looked like levelling since Bamba struck Lille's third goal.
Minute

83'
Half-hearted penalty appeals ensue from PSG's players as Messi looks to flick the ball beyond Andre. The ball did strike the Lille man's elbow, but there was nothing he could do about that at close quarters.
82'
Bamba is caught offside from another long ball directed into the right-hand channel. Lille have got in behind PSG's struggling defence so often here, but the wideman just mistimed his run this time around.
79'
PSG are struggling to up the tempo as Lille sit back in their 4-2-3-1 shape. While Messi has been relatively quiet all game, Mbappe has been anonymous since the break, having started brightly.
77'
K. Mbappé gets yellow.

72'
Bamba races in behind again and attempts to float a cross towards Cabella. He goes for the spectacular but fails to connect with an overhead kick, allowing PSG to break…
71'
What a 15 minutes or so it has been for Lille, who are ahead for the first time in this game, leaving PSG facing the prospect of a fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions. Galtier needs the hosts to respond, and he's about to turn to his bench.
69'
J. Bamba has scored a goal for Lille! Assist by André Gomes.
Gomes gets the assist for a weighted ball in behind for Bamba to chase, but Verratti must shoulder some of the blame from PSG's point of view. He lost possession when surrounded by three visiting players, and Lille swiftly punished him!
GOAAAAAAAL! BAMBA COMPLETES THE TURNAROUND! LILLE LEAD 3-2! This is absolutely remarkable, PSG are falling apart! Verratti concedes possession cheaply on halfway, allowing Andre Gomes to hoist a long ball in behind.

66'
G. Gudmundsson enters the game and replaces B. Diakité.

63'
J. Bamba gets yellow.
Bamba goes into the book for stopping Verratti from taking a quick free-kick illegally on the right. The winger then gets into an animated discussion with the Italy midfielder, and with both men on a caution, they need to calm down.
62'
Ramos is on hand to make the interception as Weah looks to play a low cross into the area. Lille come straight back, but a throughball from David is overhit, allowing Donnarumma to calm things down.
60'
Galtier was absolutely furious with the decision to award Lille their penalty, and though it may have been soft, the visitors certainly deserve to be back on level terms after impressing from the first whistle. PSG have lost Neymar to injury and lost their two-goal lead. Can they find a way to reclaim the advantage?
59'
Lille are immediately on the attack again as David looks to meet a low cross from the left, but the shell-shocked hosts succeed in crowding him out. What a game this has been.
58'
Penalty goal scored by J. David for Lille!
DAVID CONVERTS! IT'S 2-2! Lille have come back from two goals down to level things up at the Parc des Princes! The award of the penalty may have been generous, but the visitors won't mind as David strokes the spot-kick into the bottom-right corner, sending Donnarumma the wrong way!
56'
M. Verratti gets yellow.

53'
Mbappe sees a low shot gathered comfortably by Chevalier. The atmosphere has died down at the Parc des Princes following Neymar's concerning injury.
51'

47'
Weah cuts inside from the left before sending a powerful long-range effort well over the bar. That was never going to trouble Donnarumma, but Lille have started the second half brightly.
46'
PSG get the second half started! The Parisians may have the lead, but they will have to step things up to ensure they hold onto it in the next 45 minutes.
Lille instantly win the ball back and launch an attack through David, but his low cross from the right is cut out by the first defender.
45' +3
HALF-TIME: PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN 2-1 LILLE
45' +1

45'
B. Diakité gets yellow.
Lille goalscorer Diakite becomes the first player booked for a foul on halfway after Lille waste their second corner.

36'

34'
Bernat's first involvement sees him link up with Mbappe out wide, before Verratti overhits his ball towards Vitinha. Mbappe has certainly been the most involved of PSG's three attacking stars, with both Neymar and Messi relatively quiet so far, despite the former getting on the scoresheet.
32'
Mbappe is hauled down by Lille goalscorer Diakite, giving PSG a free-kick 30 yards from goal on the left wing. Neymar opts to go short to Verratti, and the hosts can keep possession.
31'
Juan Bernat enters the game and replaces Nuno Mendes.
Bernat replaces Mendes at left-back. Both teams have now lost a defender to injury after Fonte's earlier exit.
30'
Now Mendes is down on the touchline, clearly feeling the effects of that challenge. He may not be able to continue…
25'
There was a VAR review for a possible offside in the build-up to the goal, but Diakite had timed his run to perfection. In truth, that goal is the minimum Lille deserve after their high-octane start.
24'
B. Diakité has scored a goal for Lille! Assist by André Gomes.
Andre Gomes tees up the goal with a fine cross from a deep position on the left flank. His enticing delivery only needed a touch to beat Donnarumma, and Diakite obliged!
GOAL! LILLE GET ONE BACK, AND IT'S 2-1! Donnarumma could do nothing about that! Lille win a left-wing corner, which is worked short to Andre Gomes. His inswinging cross is met by the head of Diakite, and the defender glances a header into the bottom-right corner!
22'
What a start we've been treated to in Paris, with Mbappe and Neymar on the scoresheet to put PSG in control. While Lille's supporters might be fearing a repeat of August's 7-1 hammering against the champions, they have tested Donnarumma three times already and are unfortunate to be behind.

Andre Gomes goes down following a firm challenge from Ramos, but the referee declines to award a free-kick.

GOAL! PSG HAVE A SECOND AS NEYMAR TAPS HOME! Lille are all at sea as Neymar and Vitinha combine following a dummy from Messi. Chevalier looked to have claimed Vitinha's effort at the midfielder's feet, but the ball slips from his grasp and Neymar turns it into the empty net! 2-0!
16'
Mbappe races onto another ball into the left-hand channel but sees his cut-back intercepted. The goal has certainly boosted PSG, who were twice fortunate to avoid falling behind early on.
14'
L. Yoro enters the game and replaces José Fonte.
Fonte is unable to continue, and that's a huge blow for Lille. The 17-year-old Yoro takes his place.

11'
K. Mbappé has scored a goal for PSG! Assist by Neymar.
GOAAL! MBAPPE PUTS PSG 1-0 UP! The hosts hit the front against the run of play, and what a goal it is from Mbappe. Having raced onto Neymar's pass, the France international faces up to Diakite and Djalo in the area. A wonderful piece of skill takes him between the two Lille defenders, and he calmly places the ball under the onrushing Chevalier!
Neymar is credited with the assist after picking Mbappe out in the left-hand channel, but the goalscorer still had much to do, and he did it brilliantly!
8'
David almost breaks in behind after Cabella dispossess Kimpembe in a dangerous position. That was an excellent bit of pressing from Lille, but the pass towards David was overhit.
7'
Neymar does well near his own corner flag to get PSG moving forwards. Lille are quickly back into their shape, however, and a mishit ball from Fabian gives the visitors possession.
3'

Lille get the ball rolling in the French capital!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of this Ligue 1 clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Lille from the Parc des Princes!
PSG boss Christophe Galtier needs a win against his former club to ease the pressure which has begun to build in the French capital. The Ligue 1 leaders have already lost three league games since the turn of the year and need to mount a comeback to keep their Champions League hopes alive following Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich. However, with domestic rivals Marseille, Monaco and Lens all in action later on Sunday, they have the chance to go eight points clear at the summit here – an opportunity they need to take.
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN SUBS: Sergio Rico, Alexandre Letellier, Juan Bernat, Danilo Pereira, Carlos Soler, El Chadaille Bitshiabu, Warren Zaire-Emery, Ismael Gharbi, Hugo Ekitike.
LILLE (4-2-3-1): Lucas Chevalier; Bafode Diakite, Tiago Djalo, Jose Fonte, Timothy Weah; Benjamin Andre, Angel Gomes; Jonathan Bamba, Remy Cabella, Andre Gomes; Jonathan David.
LILLE SUBS: Adam Jakubech, Benoit Costil, Alexsandro Ribeiro, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Jonas Martin, Leny Yoro, Edon Zhegrova, Alan Virginius, Carlos Baleba.
The players are out at the Parc des Princes, and kick-off is just moments away as Ligue 1's last two title-winning teams face off!
Lille might have been fearing a repeat of August's 7-1 loss to PSG when they went 2-0 down within 17 minutes, but they have been excellent since then, controlling the game for long periods. While Lille have been the more convincing of the two teams, PSG's star-studded front three will undoubtedly cause more problems on the break as this game goes on, and the scoring is unlikely to be over just yet.
Lille are desperately unfortunate to have lost this game after seeing their outstanding performance rewarded by goals from Diakite, David and Bamba, but PSG's iconic forward trio made the difference, with Mbappe helping himself to a brace either side of Neymar's tap-in, before Messi provided another magical moment. There are some negatives to take away for the champions, however, not least the injury which forced a tearful Neymar off in the second half.
We hope you've enjoyed our coverage of a thrilling encounter in the French capital. It's goodbye from us, and we hope to see you next time!
