The Ballon d’Or team plays as a true leader, then Barcola closes the game with the 3-0 goal. Luis Enrique’s team is back at the top, waiting for Lens-Auxerre

Dembélé takes care of it, with a Ballon d’Or double that announces a second part of the season as a driving force, like last year when he then pushed PSG towards winning the Champions League. The performance shown against Giroud’s Lille was that of a true leader, always on the move, always generous in pressing and ruthless in guaranteeing, with Barcola’s hat-trick, the three points that are worth the top spot, waiting for Lens, on the pitch today like De Zerbi’s Marseille.

Giroud at least puts in the good will and already in the 2nd minute he scares PSG by finding the crossbar. On the rebound, Mbappé, Kylian’s little brother, slams into Chevalier. And a post, the former Rossoneri player takes it, turning, in the 24th minute, even if there had been a foul before. In the middle, Dembélé takes the lead and is quick to control and close with a left foot just wide of the post. A goal that validates the Parisian aggression in the midfield which Lille then progressively makes their own, infuriating Luis Enrique who demands more pressing. So in the second half Lucho widens the attack line, obtaining more ideas. Dembélé invented the second goal with a lob that mocked four defenders and the goalkeeper (18′), before going out to applause, and Barcola’s final goal (48′).
