Some intricate play on the edge of the box, but his teammates were ostensibly not on the same wavelength when it came to putting together chances. PSG would bounce back, though, as Hakimi found the net with a curled shot from range after cutting inside, the Moroccan and Messi emerging as the hosts’ best performers again.

ST: Lionel Messi - 8/10 - Played more in midfield than most of the actual midfielders did. CB: Marquinhos - 6/10 - Solid enough at the back under more pressure than he'd have expected. A very youthful bench but perhaps needed to show more faith as his seniors struggled. Poor movement and decision-making which really hampered his team. Another moment of magic, this time from Messi, but the hosts ahead. PSG came close to equalising from a Lionel Messi corner.

The Toulouse goalkeeper — making his 100th appearance for the club he joined in 2020 — was well beaten (38'). Another goal — and a superb one at that — to claim the three points that keeps PSG's momentum high ahead of the midweek Coupe de France trip to Marseille. Another well-placed free-kick had the PSG fans holding their breath — when Van den Boomen's goalbound effort was this time gathered gratefully by Donnarumma (78'), there was a collective sigh of relief. Messi nearly added another contender when Toulouse allowed him to advance and tee himself up on his left foot, but this time, the Argentine's laser-guided precision deserted him (75'). That lacklustre performance had been followed by the 3-1 win at Montpellier on Wednesday that had lifted PSG five points clear of the chasing pack, but with [Toulouse](https://www.ligue1.com/clubs?id=toulouse-fc) unbeaten in seven competitive matches, the hosts looked set for another difficult evening at the Parc des Princes. Fortunately, their individual quality saw them level: Hakimi cut inside from the right before bending a shot beyond Maxime Dupé from outside the area.
Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain will take the pitch against Thijs Dallinga and Toulouse today.
