Kylian Mbappe put the hosts ahead in the 9th minute, slamming into the bottom corner on the counter-attack.
Leipzig levelled the score in the 28th minute through Andre Silva from a cross by Angelino. The first half scores remained at 1-1.
Much to surprise of the home fans, the German side took the lead in the 57th minute as Nordi Mukiele scored from another Angelino cross.
A goal down Lionel Messi rose to the occasion as he had a shot tipped onto the post and tapped the rebound into an empty net – and then scored a Panenka penalty to win the game for PSG.
PSG won a penalty deep into injury time, but instead of Messi stepping up for a hat-trick, Mbappe took it instead – and skied it over the bar.
