Paris Saint-Germain took a significant step towards securing the Ligue 1 title with a 3-1 victory over second-placed Olympique de Marseille at the Parc des Princes on Sunday. The win extends PSG’s unbeaten league run and increases their lead at the top of the table to 19 points.
PSG now have 68 points from 26 games, with eight rounds remaining.
Ousmane Dembele opened the scoring in the 17th minute, racing onto a through ball and finishing clinically. Nuno Mendes doubled PSG’s advantage just before halftime, scoring from close range.
Marseille responded in the second half, reducing the deficit in the 51st minute. Adrien Rabiot intercepted a poor pass out of the PSG defense and set up Amine Gouiri, who made no mistake with his finish.
However, PSG restored their two-goal cushion in the 76th minute. Marseille defender Pol Lirola, attempting to clear Achraf Hakimi’s cross, inadvertently turned the ball into his own net.
The victory further solidifies PSG’s dominance in Ligue 1 and their seemingly inevitable march towards another league title. Marseille, despite a spirited second-half effort, were ultimately undone by defensive errors and PSG’s attacking quality.
