Paris-Saint-Germain took a big step towards a tenth historic title in Ligue 1, beating Olympique de Marseille (2-1), where Neymar did everything to be loved on Sunday, April 17 for the Shock of 32 e day. Has a share of the title. The Parisians wore their lead to 15 points on their dolphin and rival Marseille, they can be crowned from Wednesday if they do better in Angers than OM against Nantes.
“Ney” is for many, and he was acclaimed this time by the princes park. A goal (12 e ), a penalty caused, marked by Kylian mbed (45 e +5 S.P.), the Brazilian has passed its classic. His 6 goals in three games and some Sunday class actions, recall what great player it can be. But they do not forget the Parisian supporters the collective bankruptcy against Real Madrid who led them to the elimination of the Champions League.
The Ultras du Cup (Collective Ultras Parisians) continued to strike encouragement. They hardly manifested themselves that for songs and whistles against the Marseillais. Beat OM do not console them, obviously. But the PSG is still en route to the record of Saint-Étienne, which had conquered its 10 e in 1981 with Michel Platini. When the PSG was founded, in 1970, the “Greens”, born in 1919, won their sixth title of Champions of France.
Marseille keeps a small advance
Marseille, who equalized by Duje Caleta-Car (31 e ), is nine, that of 1993 having been canceled after the VA-OM affair. The Jorge Sampoli team stops there a series of eight consecutive victories, all competitions, but the week has not been too hard. His first pursuer, Rennes (3 e ), lost and OM retains a small advance on the pack of contenders to the Champions League, three lengths on the Bretons, five on Nice (4 e ) and six on Strasbourg (5 e ) and monaco (6 e ).
And then the European dream of the Phoceans is always alive, after their qualification for the semi-finals of the league Conference, against the Feyenoord Rotterdam, on April 28 and May 5. OM did not really bring back a point from the Princes Park when William Saliba took over a free kick of Dimitri Payet (85 e ). But the goal was canceled after a few minutes of Var.
In the goal, Steve Mandanda, who shone against the Salonics paok in quarters (2-1 / 1-0), had made the place in Pau Lopez, quickly trapped by Neymar’s talent. Rather than waiting for a rebound, the Brazilian resumed a bullet in the depth of Marco Verratti for both the Spanish goalkeeper in front of him and Valentin Rongier behind him.
Neymar acclaimed
This time, the park, who had whistled the n ° 10 after the rout in Madrid, did not shegate her joy to celebrate this goal, the sixth in three matches for “Ney”. And at the announcement of the scorer’s name by the speaker of the stadium, it was really necessary to tighten the ear to distinguish some whistles from the Auteuil turning. Reconciliation with Neymar seems on track.
He also got the penalty transformed by Kylian mbled, his seventh goal in a classic, perhaps his last, just before the break, his striking strikes the elbow of ginger. But mental fragility still wates for this PSG. A missed exit from Gianluigi Donarumma on Corner has allowed Duje to equalize at the end of a confused action, where neither Marquinhos nor Marco Verratti nor Danilo Pereira could catch the ball.
The Paris of Mauricio Pochettino deserved his victory for mastered the debates, even if he has often fallen into the trap of the offside. The PSG has been refused no less than three goals for offside, two to mbled (35 e , 76 e ) and one in Messi (40 e ). These actions have at least allowed the park to admire the cracking of the complicity of the “mnm”. Too late for the Champions League, but still in time for league 1.
