PSG needed a belated moment of magic from Kylian Mbappe to claim an ugly 2-1 win over 15th-placed Brest on Saturday.
With a starting lineup decimated by injuries, PSG look set to struggle on Saturday, even against a bottom half.
And they did for a long time, struggling to beat a tough Brest.
The Ligue 1 leaders have conceded more goals than any side in the first half since the World Cup, and their trend of progress has resurfaced. After Carlos Soler opened the scoring, surging past a defender to give the home team the equalizer, Brest leveled as Franck Honorat put the ball past the tense Gianluigi Donnarumma.
PSG had few skirmishes for most of the second half and Brest created the best chances for both sides. The Parisians may have been lucky not to be reduced to 10 men after Kylian Mbappe sent Haris Belkebla off, and Brest squandered a pair of delicious opportunities late in the game.
And then, Mbappe. In the 90th minute, the striker dashed through Messi's cross, circled the opponent's goalkeeper and then put the ball into an empty net, turning a dismal match into the winner of the match. It was also the 300th assist in Messi's career - another special milestone for the Argentine star.
