Lionel Messi rolled back the years to produce a goal worthy of winning a league title in Paris Saint-Germain's 1-1 draw with Lens on Saturday night.
The draw with Franck Haise's side ensured the capital club took an unassailable lead at the top of the table to secure a joint-record tenth Ligue 1 Uber Eats title.
In a tight encounter and with both defences firmly on top, it took a moment of pure genius to break the deadlock. Enter Lionel Messi..
Breathtaking
The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner hit an unstoppable 25-yard effort into the top corner in the 68th minute to put the runaway league leaders into the ascendancy. Despite relinquishing their advantage late on, PSG held on to recapture the title from last season's winners LOSC.
The entire PSG team swamped the Argentine in response to a moment of magic only he could muster up and it was a fitting moment for Messi who secured his first piece of silverware in French football.
It was Messi's fourth league goal of the season but one that will live on in the memory of the 34-year-old and the millions of PSG fans across the world.
Almost as good as the goal itself, was the jubilant reaction from Sergio Ramos both as Messi struck the shot and then as the net bustled to fire PSG in front.
Messi took to his Instagram page after the title winning celebrations and posted pictures of his goal alongside the caption 'CAMPEONES'.
Teammate Neymar was also in celebratory mood, posting a group picture of himself, Messi and members of PSG's South American contingent.
In what has been a largely frustrating season for Messi who has spent much of the season finding his feet in Paris, recent signs have suggested that the ex-Barcelona man is finally adapting to his new surroundings.
With nine goals and 13 assists to his name in all competitions during his first season in French football, Messi will look to improve on those statistics next term with his adaptation period complete and a full pre-season behind him.
