With Monaco’s 2-0 defeat against Saint-Etienne on Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain’s victory on Sunday against Olympique de Marseille in the 27th round of the championship comes as a significant boost for the Parisians.
PSG didn’t face much difficulty as they secured a 2-0 win against Marseille in the highly anticipated clash. Despite early missed opportunities from Lavezzi and Lucas, the reigning champions maintained control in the first half. Meanwhile, Marseille struggled to find solutions and the first half ended in a goalless draw.
However, PSG picked up the pace in the second half, especially when Ibrahimovic’s precise pass found Maxwell, who capitalized on the opportunity to score past Mandanda. Shortly after, Edinson Cavani, making his return, added another goal to seal the victory.
With this win, PSG now enjoys an 8-point lead over Monaco in the standings.
