This Saturday, PSG received AJ Auxerre on behalf of the 6th day of Ligue 1. Deprived of many players (Dembélé, Goué, Marquinhos, Neves), the club of the capital wanted to resume its march before a defeat during the classic in Marseille at the start of the week (1-0) and was welcomed with great fanfare after the consecration of Ousmane Dembélé in the Ballon. From the outset, the Parisians dictated their pace. Much more inspired than their resolutely defensive adversaries, the Ile-de-France residents obtained the first occasions and Warren Zaïre-Emery quickly distinguished himself (5th). Finally, PSG found the fault after the half hour of play. On a center from the right of Vitinha, Illia Zabarnyi scored her first goal with Paris with a beautiful finish of the left foot (1-0, 33rd). Launched, the men of Luis Enrique, however, had to face two big disillusions. Very interesting during the first half hour, Vitinha was released as a precaution in the 35th minute of play.

A first blow before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's injury. Visibly affected by the hamstrings, the Follet Georgian fire gave way to Bradley Barcola at halftime. Two big bad news before the shock on the lawn of FC Barcelona next week in the Champions League and in a context where the infirmary is full in the capital. Upon returning from the locker room, the residents of the Parc des Princes tried to ignore these disappointments by rushing towards the attack. After a huge face-to-face failed by Barcola (47th), Parisians did not have to torture their minds for a long time to find the fault. Found on a worked center in Mayulu, Beraldo appeared from nowhere to punish Léon with a powerful head (2-0, 55th). Despite the answers to the Auxerroises with the strike of Danish (58th) and the action of Namaso (66th), Paris did not give in and kept the course defensively. Achraf Hakimi was even close to joining the party of a clever lob but the Moroccan was largely offside. Finally, the score has no longer evolved and Paris therefore resumes its march forward. Better yet, PSG temporarily resumes orders from the championship.
