PSG did not experience the slightest difficulty in getting rid of Olympique de Marseille (4-0), this Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes as part of the 6th day of Ligue 1.
The Parisians found the net four times once morest Marseillais in the midst of a crisis thanks to Ashraf Hakimi (8′ 1-0), Randal Color (37′ 2-0) and a double of Gonçalo Ramos (47′ 3-0, 89′ 4-0).
The only downside for the title holders: the injury of Kylian Mbappéhit in the ankle and forced to leave the pitch in the first half.
Olympique de Marseille, in the midst of a crisis and without a coach at its head, plunged a little further once morest PSG, who made short work of it. This defeat at the Parc des Princes, its first of the season, will not help the affairs of the Marseille club, which has been in troubled waters for a week, which was punctuated by the departure of its coach Marcelino.
The Marseillais had taken their heads out of the water a little at the end of the week with a good result once morest Ajax Amsterdam in the Europa League on Thursday (3-3), and a little more on Friday when OM president Pablo Longoria announced that he remained in charge of the club. The Spanish leader was also present at the Park to see his team, largely dominated in the game and deprived of the ball.
This defeat completes a week during which OM seriously faltered following a disappointing draw at the Vélodrome once morest Toulouse (0-0) last Sunday, but especially following a stormy meeting the next day between managers and supporters’ associations. , who demanded their resignation.
Paris on the podium
For PSG, which has been sailing unusually on calm waters for several weeks, the weather is clear. This success puts him back on the podium (3rd) of Ligue 1, on goal difference with Monaco (4th), and behind Nice (2nd) and Brest (1st).
The ankle injury of its star, Kylian Mbappé, however, overshadowed the Parisian evening. Author of eight goals in five matches this season, the striker was hit in the left ankle during contact with defender Leonardo Balerdi (6th). After going back and forth between the sidelines and the field, he left and returned to the locker room, replaced by Gonçalo Ramos (31st).
This mistake by the Argentinian is at the origin of PSG’s first goal: at the right corner of the area, Achraf Hakimi’s curled shot was lodged in the top corner of Pau Lopez (8th).
Two superb goals in two matches for the defender, full of confidence, making us forget his complicated second season at PSG, marked off the field by an indictment for rape.
Series of firsts
The rest of the match was a succession of firsts for the Parisian club: striker Kolo Muani, also from Bondy like Mbappé, chose Classic to score his first goal under the red and blue colors.
Attentive in the area, the former Frankfurt player unlocked his counter for his second start. He took a ball from the right into the empty goal (37th), following a strike from Hakimi which found the post.
Without their supporters deprived of travel and in a Parc des Grands Soirs decorated at the start of the match with a huge tifo, the players of interim coach Jacques Abardonado continued to dive, despite a few attempts, like that of Vitinha on the bar ( 24th). A drop of water in an ocean.
At the start of the locker room, PSG continued their momentum, with the first goal from striker Gonçalo Ramos on the first assist from Ousmane Dembélé. His cross to the near post found the head of the Portuguese striker (47th), who scored a double at the end of the match on an offering from RKM (89th).
To complete the series of novelties, the young 21-year-old Frenchman Bradley Barcola was aligned for the first time by Luis Enrique, always a fan of surprises, and leaving Vitinha on the bench. He was given a standing ovation by the Park when he left (83rd), replaced by Nordi Mukiele, who has been back since March.
A second reference match in a week following the victory once morest Dortmund (2-0), for PSG version Luis Enrique, who experienced some failures notably once morest Nice last weekend (3-2 defeat).
While the Spanish coach had warned his players of the “emotional component” of this type of match, Luis Enrique must have been reassured, ten days before the trip to Newcastle in the Champions League.
