The visitors managed to trump bad weather and a stubborn opponent in a scrappy encounter though - and that will be their main concern.
The home side took the lead but were reduced to ten men when Mbappe breaks, Timothee Kolodziejczak lunges for him and the latter drags his studs over the forward's knee.
Marquinhos missed a sitter earlier - but it makes up for it here! Messi lofts an inch-perfect free-kick in from the centre-right flank, the captain rises and he nudges a low, bouncing header beyond Etienne Green, in at the near post.
Lionel Messi pulls the strings, helping to draw in defenders before flicking out to an exposed right edge of the penalty area. His team-mate is there, unmarked, and he lofts a simple finish around Green that you can see coming from a mile away.
Marquinhos has a double of headers for the day - and Lionel Messi has a hat-trick of assists! The Argentine leads on the ball down the left edge, cuts a looped delivery in, and his captain is there to crash home from the six-yard area. The visitors seal victory
