PSG Cruise to 5-1 Win Over Angers to Extend Ligue 1 Lead
Paris Saint-Germain delivered a commanding performance on Saturday, thrashing Angers 5-1 at the Parc des Princes in their 22nd Ligue 1 fixture.
The victory was highlighted by a standout display from midfielder Blaise Matuidi, who provided three assists and played a key role in PSG’s attacking dominance. Speaking after the match, the French international expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance.
“It’s the first time I’m happy with the team’s performance tonight. Lately, we’ve been struggling a bit more. We needed a response against a team that does the job defensively; it’s all the more deserved on our part to have scored five goals against this team,” Matuidi told Canal+.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his teammates were clinical in front of goal, breaking down Angers’ defence with a mix of sharp passing and individual skill. The five-goal haul not only delighted the home crowd but also reinforced PSG’s position at the summit of Ligue 1.
The win extends Paris Saint-Germain’s lead at the top of the table to an impressive 24 points over second-placed Monaco, underscoring their dominance in French football this season. With confidence high and momentum firmly on their side, PSG look well-positioned to continue their quest for another domestic title.
Angers, meanwhile, will be left to regroup following a heavy defeat, with the challenge of tightening their defence and improving their attacking output in the coming fixtures.
PSG’s display at the Parc des Princes served as a reminder of their attacking firepower and tactical cohesion, sending a strong signal to the rest of Ligue 1 that they remain the team to beat this season.
