Paris Saint-Germain took brilliant revenge in the classic Ligue 1 by winning in Marseille (3-0), Sunday February 26, while refining its preparation for its big meeting with Bayern Munich, in ten days.
Strongly shaken in the Coupe de France on February 8 (2-1 defeat), PSG soon let the Olympians know that it would not be the same match by scoring two goals by Kylian Mbappé (25th) and Lionel Messi (29th), infernal duo who returned the courtesy on assists.
Thanks to a subtle ladle, the Argentinian gave Mbappé his 200th goal with PSG (55th), equaling Edinson Cavani’s record.
Reconquest of the Coupe de France
The title may have been played from this 25th day, since Paris takes eight lengths ahead of its runner-up. OM, unable to compete like 18 days earlier, did not lose everything with the brakes of their rivals for qualification in the Champions League, Monaco (3rd) against Nice (3-0) and Lens (4th ) in Montpellier (1-1).
Igor Tudor’s team keeps a two-point margin over ASM and four over Racing, and can limit its ambitions to winning back the Coupe de France, with a quarter-final against Annecy (L2), Wednesday at the Vélodrome .
PSG have put their domestic affairs in order. After three defeats in a row, he has just beaten Lille (4-3) and OM. He has one match left against Nantes on Saturday before going to try to overthrow in Munich, on March 8, the defeat of the first leg at the Parc des Princes (1-0).
Kimpembe injured
This controlled victory offers a nice breath of fresh air to Christophe Galtier, who celebrated the goals with clenched fists on the Parisian bench.
The game is not yet radiant, Paris has not mastered everything, far from it, but it has avoided the crisis and put itself back in the right direction, especially with a view to the C1, while Bayern have also carded a pursuer, Union Berlin (3-0), Sunday.
Unfortunately for Paris, the black series “One injury per game” continued with the exit in tears of Presnel Kimpembe at the quarter of an hour of play, touched in the left leg. He was replaced by the versatile Danilo Pereira (15th).
