The hosts led 2-1 at the break and held on to open up 15-point lead
Paris Saint-Germain are now 15 points clear in the Ligue 1 summit clash after a 2-1 win over Olympique de Marseille at Le Classic on Sunday. Neymar and Kylian Mbappe were both on target for Mauricio Pochettino's home side as all the scoring was done in the first half at the Parc des Princes on Easter Sunday.
The Brazilian superstar took just 12 minutes to score after he was teased by Marco Verratti to make himself the top-scoring overseas with eight goals at Le Championnat in 2022, as the Italian sought to become PSG's top appearance maker in the fixture. Celebrated.
Duje Caleta Car equalized after half an hour as the hosts failed to clear their line, but Mbappe pushed PSG back from the penalty spot before the break for their seventh goal.
William Saliba had a late goal scored by VAR, but Les Parisiens took the win for what could prove to be an unassailable lead.
PSG captain Marquinhos told Amazon Prime after the match, "We will keep the win in mind at the end of the day." "It's a game you have to win. If it's with style, that's better, but it was against a second-place team in Ligue 1. We didn't come to play and lose, we came for all three points . It remains three points against a direct competitor. We will give up nothing because we want the title."
OM's winning run may well be broken now, but their UEFA Europa Conference League semi-finals should now be a priority in the rest of the campaign, although the Champions League is available through Ligue 1.
