WATCH: Lionel Messi scores brilliant last minute free-kick to win match for PSG against Lille

Lionel Messi scored a brilliant last-minute free-kick to rescue Paris Saint-Germain in their Ligue 1 clash against Lille on Sunday afternoon.

PSG went into the game in very poor form.

They had lost their previous three games, against Marseille, Monaco and Bayern Munich.

They were hoping to return to winning ways against Lille at Parc des Princes.

Things started well for PSG. Goals from Kylian Mbappe and Neymar saw them go 2-0 up in the opening 17 minutes.

But Lille remarkably turned the game on its head. Goals from Bafodé Diakité, Jonathan David and Jonathan Bamba gave the away side a shock lead with 20 minutes remaining.

PSG were not to be denied, though.

Mbappe scored his second of the match in the 87th minute to restore parity.

PSG kept pushing and Messi won it for his side in brilliant fashion in the 95th minute.

Messi won a free-kick for his side roughly 25 yards out. PSG desperately needed some magic from the 35-year-old and he delivered.

Pure brilliance from Messi.

That was his 699th club goal of his career. He hasn't scored many more as special as that.

In truth, Messi wasn't at his best during the game at Parc des Princes.

But, as he so often does, he delivered when his side needed him most.
