The visitors were without Neymar, although Messi stepped up big time on the night by getting a goal and setting up of Kylian Mbappe's goal.

"These are always tricky matches, Ajaccio did well to put us under pressure for 25 minutes," Galtier said, as per Get French Football News.

"From the moment the pressure went down and we managed to keep possession, we created some interesting chances, like with the first goal. The players put in a good performance on a technical level."

"The pace was less intense in the second half and we were in technical control. We had some key moments and didn't score, which gave Ajaccio some hope, before our two magnificent goals, including Messi's.

"People come to the stadium to watch Leo play – he's the best player of all time. He likes playing with the others, he has this quality of wanting to play with others, he is very altruistic and he was amazing on the second goal."
