Winner of OM at the Vélodrome (1-2), Paris Saint-Germain had to be content with a narrow success despite clear domination in the game and several clear chances. The Parisians struggled for a long time with Jeffrey De Lange and lacked precision in the last gesture, before making the difference in the second half thanks to Ferran Torres then Marquinhos. In the mixed zone, Vitinha recognized that PSG still needed to progress in this sector, while emphasizing the importance of this victory in the Classic. “We are a little behind in the championship. It was important to win this match, even more than usual. We imagined a huge gap between the two teams. In the end, PSG won with a rather close score… We never imagined that. We knew it would be difficult to play here. Marseille are a good team, we made sure to have a bigger margin, we had a lot of chances but we won 2-1. Victory is not even discussed, it is frankly deserved. »
The Portuguese midfielder also put the Parisian difficulties in finishing into perspective, recalling that the main thing remained to have been able to convert this domination into victory in such an important meeting. Despite a less convincing start to the season from an accounting perspective, PSG has just achieved a third consecutive success in all competitions. “The most important thing is to snatch victory in a Classic. At this time of the season, we are not at our best level, but we still managed to create a lot of situations, which is positive. We will work and savor these three victories in a row. »
