Fabian Ruiz scored the first goal for PSG in the 55th minute, and Lionel Messi later added to their lead in the second half, helping the team secure a much-needed victory. PSG had been struggling with poor results, causing their lead in Ligue 1 to shrink after the World Cup.
The victory was overshadowed by an injury to Mbappe, who had to leave the game in the 21st minute after missing a penalty. He suffered a knee injury.
“It’s a knock on the knee and it hurts behind the thigh,” manager Christophe Galtier said after the match. “Is it a bruise? We don’t know yet. It doesn’t look very serious. We’re not too worried.”

PSG received a penalty in the 7th minute after a video review showed that the central defender, Christopher Jullien, had held back Sergio Ramos.
The French forward took the penalty kick, but it was saved by Benjamin Lecomte. Despite taking the penalty a second time, Lecomte still managed to keep it from going in.
Afterward, Mbappe limped off the pitch clutching his left thigh.
Arnaud Nordin scored a goal for Montpellier close to the end of the game, but PSG’s Warren Zaire-Emery added a third goal, securing an important three points for the defending Ligue 1 champions.
In two weeks, Ligue 1 leaders PSG will face Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. Recently, PSG had struggled, losing two consecutive away games and only managing a draw with Stade de Reims.
However, they were more solid on Wednesday and scored their first goal in the 55th minute thanks to Fabian Ruiz who volleyed the ball home from a headed pass by Hugo Ekitike.
Ruiz then assisted Lionel Messi in the 72nd minute with a precise pass, enabling Messi to beat Benjamin Lecomte with a low shot from close range.
Meanwhile, Marseille moved up to second place after securing a 2-0 win against Nantes, overtaking RC Lens who lost their first home game 1-0 against Nice.
