PARIS — World Cup winner Lionel Messi scored and Kylian Mbappé missed a twice-taken penalty before getting injured as Paris Saint-Germain won 3-1 at Montpellier to move five points clear at the top of the French league. Mbappé went down clutching his leg just under the right knee and limped off in the 21st minute. It was unclear exactly what his injury was. Television cameras also caught him rubbing the back of his left thigh as he walked off. Marseille won 2-0 at Nantes to extend its unbeaten run to 10 games overall and climb one point above Lens into second. Lens lost 1-0 against Nice for its first home league defeat and second overall.
