Paris Saint-Germain looks great before the match against Maccabi Haifa.
Four days before hosting the Israeli champions, PSG defeated Ajax 0:3 away, and enjoyed another game that highlighted the deadly partnership between Leo Messi and Kylian Mbappe.
The Argentinian cooked twice for the Frenchman, and scored himself from Mbappe's cooking, with the two forgetting the disadvantage of Neymar who was absent due to accumulation of yellow cards.
Messi has 13 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season, and continues to look in top form before the World Cup.
What is particularly impressive, as mentioned, is the collaboration with Mbapa.
Messi has already scored six league goals for Mbappe this season - a figure that no pair of players can match with five in the top leagues.
"That's why he is the best player in history," PSG coach Christophe Galtier praised Messi.
"Fans from all over the world come to watch him especially, and he concentrates on giving to others. He likes to play with good players, he has no ego. His combination with Mbappe is exceptional,

Ajax player Toma Maniani admitted that he was shocked by Messi's ability.
"We had the privilege tonight to play against Leo, and see up close how he works his magic. It was an unbelievable experience. He is the best player in the world by a huge margin, there is no competition. When you see up close what he is capable of - even at his relatively advanced age - you understand Why is he considered the best footballer in history?
For Galtier, the real news was not the ability of the stars who continue to deliver the goods, but the improvement of the midfielders.
Galtieri started yesterday in a 4-3-3 formation, with three aggressive players in the middle of the field: Marco Verratti, Fabian Ruiz and Renato Sanchez - and admitted that he liked this team.
"Will we start with the same formation against Haifa? It's still too early to tell, but I enjoyed watching our link today. He exerted a lot of pressure and completely dominated the midfield. It freed Messi and Mbappe to attack closer to the goal. I liked what I saw."
