Messi jeered on return as PSG edges closer to historic title

PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain closed in on a record 11th French league title with a 5-0 home win over Ajaccio on Saturday as Lionel Messi received a mixed reception on his return from suspension.

Fabian Ruiz opened the scoring on 22 minutes at Parc des Princes and Achraf Hakimi added a second goal before Kylian Mbappe struck twice shortly after halftime.

Mohamed Youssouf compounded a miserable night for the Corsican side with an own goal for PSG's fifth, while Hakimi and Ajaccio midfielder Thomas Mangani were sent off after a late bust-up.
