Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi all scored in PSG's 5-1 win over Lorient on Sunday

Paris Saint-Germain were 5-1 winners over FC Lorient in Ligue 1 on Sunday, 12 points remaining clear in the summit clash in the domestic league. But home support was moot as Neymar (twice), Kylian Mbappe (also twice) and Lionel Messi found the back of the net at the Parc des Princes.

Weeks after their humiliating exit of the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid, Les Parisiens' staunch support continued to protest their own players and those in charge of the club, essentially going on strike and leaving no atmosphere.

Mauricio Pochettino's men quickly made little difference, with Neymar slotting home with an assist from Mbappe as well as Lorient after 12 minutes with a lively look from Terem Mophie. Just before the half-hour mark, Mbappe doubled the hosts' lead when he was teased by Idrisa Guay in what is quickly a trademark finish and it helped PSG into their halftime lead against relegation-threatened visitors. enough to send.

Complacency was established at the start of the second half, however, with a mix between Marquinhos and Gianluigi Donnarumma not giving the hardworking Mophie and Les Merles an undesirable lifeline with the smoothest finish.

Neymar and Mbappe enthralled the attendees with a few neat touches, but it was largely pedestrian baggage from PSG, despite recent sluggish form after this season's continental pursuit crashed.

Ultimately, Lorient was unable to find a way to level the game and there was rarely enough urgency from the capital organization to find a spare gear after falling behind, but the victory kept them comfortable at the summit while Christophe Pélissier's men would feel confident. that they can evade the charge.

Mbappe added PSG's third goal with another spell in the middle, which further underscores the hosts' reliance on the French superstar, who is good at whatever they produce, and he has worked to keep the number four spot for Messi. Couldn't find anything for

Neymar added a delightful second of his own to extend his late 5-1 lead, with Mbappe again joining in for his fifth contribution, but the brilliance of the Brazilian's sublime potential was few of the players and a tremendous campaign for the club. Too late to save Sarthak too.

The cold shoulder of PSG extremists is likely to continue for some time until the club can start making some meaningful changes, which will not be announced until a record 10th Ligue 1 title is confirmed.

 

Until then, it will likely continue to feel like a procession of semi-competitive outings with Pochettino, one of them highly likely entering his final few months at the Parc des Princes before becoming apparent this summer.

A late cameo from Sergio Ramos suggests that he will continue to try to save some of his time in France, but the tide is very much against him as the season is effectively over as he returns to action.

However, Mbappe has opened the door to staying in Paris at the end of this tenure with his post-match comments suggesting he may still extend his contract with PSG.

"I haven't made my choice about the future and everyone knows that," he said. "I am thinking and there are new elements and a lot of parameters. If I had made my decision, I would have announced it. Yes, of course, it is possible to stay with PSG."
