PARIS (AP) — The “MNM” trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe all scored to fire PSG into the knockout stage of the Champions League. The Qatari-backed club thrashed Maccabi Haifa 7-2 to advance to the round of 16 for an 11th straight season. Messi and Mbappé both scored twice, with Maccabi’s Abdoulaye Seck also bagging a brace at the Parc des Princes. Sean Goldberg scored an own-goal and substitute Carlos Soler got the seventh for PSG. PSG qualified from Group H with one game to spare alongside Benfica, which beat Juventus 4-3.
