PSG celebrates with Kylian Mbappé the club's goal record (from PSG's official website)
After his suspension was shortened and amid reports of his move to Saudi Arabia or a return to Barcelona, Lionel Messi has returned to the Paris Saint-Germain line-up that hosts Ajaccio in the 35th round of the French league. Lance beat Reims 1-2 last night to narrow the gap from the top to three points, and the Parisians will try to increase back to six and reach a point where they are one win away from an 11th title in history that would make them the sole record holders in France.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Ajaccio 0:0
Three of the champions' last four home games have ended in defeat, but against an opponent who have picked up just two points from the last 27 and will be officially relegated if they lose again, Kylian Mbappé and his teammates should have no problems. Messi returned to the line-up and joined Mbappe and Hugo Ekitike up front, with Ashraf Hakimi also returning to the starting 11 after a suspension. Ajaccio will try to stun PSG for the first time since 2-4 in May 2006 at the Parc des Princes.

Strasbourg - Nice 0:2
A fifth win in seven matches for the hosts, who are nearing securing another season in Ligue 1. And as with most phases of the season, the one who saves her almost with his own feet is the friendly scorer Diallo. Ibrahima Sissoko cooked for him within 40 seconds of the opening, making Diallo the man to score three of the fastest four goals this season in the league (scoring in 13 seconds for Montpellier and in 17 seconds against Reims). In the 59th minute, he also subdued Kasper Schmeichel from the white spot to reach 20 league goals.
