Luis Enrique’s team wins at the Parc des Princes, moving within 7 points of Marseille
Lyon is not yet ready to question PSG’s leadership. The result at the Parc des Princes says it, but also the solidity with which Luis Enrique’s team managed the closing match of the fifteenth round. Clear victory, obtained with goals from Dembélé, Vitinha from a penalty and Ramos. Mikautadze’s seal was useless, mocking Donnarumma but never really worried between the posts. PSG remains solidly at the top, and Lyon fifth at -12. Respected hierarchies.

At the start, some news as usual for PSG. Luis Henrique, who did not call up Skriniar – a first sign of divorce – also renounces captain Marquinhos, preferring to field two left-footed central defenders: Pacho and Beraldo. And he also leaves striker Ramos on the bench, but above all Barcola. In his place, Doué with Dembélé acting as striker. They are the two who break the deadlock in the 8th minute: Doué drills from the left and from the bottom serves it inside Dembélé who places a low shot into the net.
A cold shower for Lyon who showed up with Mikautadze as striker and not captain Lacazette, on the bench like the imaginative Fofana. And even if the creative Cherki is on the pitch, the Parisian left chain in the 13th minute charges the shot again. With Mendes serving inside Doué who avoids Matic but is put down by Tolisso: clear penalty, Vitinha converts. Two nil already in the 14th minute.

The double lead paralyzes the guests, also hypnotized by the dribbling of the home team who in the 33rd minute come close to scoring a hat-trick, with Beraldo heading the ball across Hakimi’s corner from the right. Only Cherki rebels and in the 40th minute invents a through ball between three opponents for Mikautadze, who goes past Donnarumma with a lob and then mocks him. There are sparks and Gigio gets the warning. In the second half, however, PSG tamed the game and took few risks, even beyond the substitutions.
Sage in fact re-establishes the attack with Lacazette, Fofana and Benrahma, in response to Lucho’s defensive re-foundation with the insertions of Marquinhos and Hernandez. And also the former Barcola in place of the imprecise Lee. The stalemate remained until the end when Barcola challenged Perri from the left. The Brazilian rejects, but Ramos, who entered for Doué, followed for the trio. PSG still at +7 over De Zerbi’s Marseille and Monaco, which they face already on Wednesday in advance of the next round, and again at the beginning of the year in Qatar for the super cup.
