Kylian Mbappe and Neymar both scored hat-tricks in PSG 6-1 win against relegation-threatened Clermont during their Ligue 1 clash at the Stade Gabriel-Montpied.
Before the game, Pascal Gastien’s team were in grave need of points, with only eight games left in the club’s first ever French top flight campaign.
PSG are champions-elect after a display of magnificent creativity and remarkably unselfish teamwork, despite their big margin of victory was only achieved due to a quick acceleration in the closing moments.
With 20 minutes remaining and the score still 2-1 in favor of the visitors, Mbappe scored a penalty, which was converted by Neymar, and a rampaging Paris side then ran away with the points.

Despite the overwhelming scoreline, Mbappe had a fantastic hat-trick, Messi had three assists, and Neymar had three goals and was sporadically at his unstoppable best, making it a game to cherish.
Mbappe and Neymar hat-tricks came after the duo combined for a brace, along with Lionel Messi’s goal, to inspire Mauricio Pochettino’s side edge a step closer to reclaiming the crown with a 5-1 hammering of lowly Lorient last week.

PSG will next take to the field in the newest edition of Le Classique, reviving their fierce feud with Marseille at the Parc des Princes, no doubt boosted by their outstanding performance today.

Clermont, who are still at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table, are also in play next Sunday, when they face fellow strugglers Metz in a potentially critical match.
