One evening of Classic is never one evening like the others in Ligue 1.. Despite the gap classes between the two teams in view of their last weeks, PSG and OM were necessarily going to fight a great battle this Sunday, at the end of the 26th day of the elite. Heroic in the middle of the week after eliminating Liverpool in the 8th finals of the Champions League, the Parisians necessarily wanted to end this week in the best way with a victory against his rival in front of his supporters. Opposite, OM is plagued by doubt. Beaten in two of their last three Ligue 1 matches, the Phocaeans have seen their advance in the classification melted as snow in the sun while all its competitors for second place returned to the race. To try to get out of it, you had to realize the perfect blow this Sunday at the Parc des Princes.

To do this, Roberto de Zerbi decided to align a surprising eleven with a Greenwood mason on the bench while the Olympians were deprived of Bennacer and Hojbjerg in the midfield. In defense, Luiz Felipe was set out for the first time since his arrival in the Canebière. Daring choices that did not bear fruit in the first period. Quickly dominated, the Marseillais were cornered in defense during the first quarter of an hour. And while Nuno Mendes obtained the first big opportunity of the match, the capital's club quickly materialized its domination. Launched in the depth by Fabian Ruiz, Ousmane Dembélé missed his control but had the passion necessary to dribble Geronimo Rulli then send a powerful strike in order to open the score (1-0, 18th). From then on, Marseille woke up.
OM revolt was not enough
More incisive, the men of Roberto de Zerbi began to make his way around the last 30 meters. More enterprising, the latter created their first occasions like this powerful strike from Rongier (31st). Finally, faced with the lack of inspiration for their rivals, Paris left forward and stung on a new flash attack. Launched in depth, Fabian Ruiz served a lonely nuno Mendes who doubled the bets despite the intervention of Rulli (2-0, 42nd). Thus, Marseille returned to the locker room with two goals behind after making a fairly interesting match at the same time. Upon returning from the locker room, OM, however, quickly resumed hope. Taking advantage of the bad pass behind Mendes, Rabiot went dribble Donnarumma before serving Gouiri back. Author of a coherent match, the Algerian was not asked to reduce the gap in the score (2-1, 52nd).
However, Paris quickly resumed the attack. Without forcing, Luis Enrique's flocks have created multiple opportunities including the rolled strike from Dembélé which found the post of Rulli (60th). And while the Argentinian then intervened perfectly against Warren Zaïre-Emery (62nd), the Marseille porter could not do anything in the 76th minute. On a harmless center from Hakimi on the right, Pol Lirola, who entered ten minutes earlier, had an incomprehensible drive and sent the ball into his own nets on a bad tackle (3-1, 76th). At the end of the match, PSG had several opportunities to increase the score (83rd, 86th), but success was not there against Olympians who had abdicated for several minutes. With this victory always good to take the appointment, Paris is getting closer more to a 13th title in Ligue 1.. The PSG also completes a perfect week between Liverpool and victory in the classic. For its part, Marseille concedes a new victory in a classic, but remain second. Far from having been bad, the Olympians always see Monaco, Nice and Lyon return within points. The second place race is definitely relaunched!
