A victory synonymous with respite for PSG. At the end of yet another turbulent week, marked this time by the slingshot of the Ultras and the Messi episode, the club from the capital provided the essentials by winning on the lawn of Troyes (1-3). The Parisians, clearly superior to a far too limited Estac, took advantage of this success to regain their six-point lead over Lens at the top of the standings.

Mbappe kicks in

Deprived for this match of the extremes of Messi, suspended by his management, but also of Hakimi, Neymar, Mukiele, Kimpembé and Nuno Mendes, PSG were able to rely on Mbappé, the decisive entry. Associated with Ekitike in front, the Parisian star launched his own perfectly, opening the scoring with an opportunistic header (0-1, 8th). During a first period that looked like an attack-defense, the capital club outrageously dominated the proceedings, without managing to widen the gap. The opportunities were however linked, but the Parisians lacked efficiency in the heart of a folded Aube block. Long in pain behind and harmless against, the Trojans were kept alive by Parisian clumsiness in the finish. And they almost created a surprise and caught up, but Donnarumma was able to intervene against Baldé (29th, 44th).

Paris is getting closer to the title, Troyes almost in Ligue 2

PSG finally managed to double the bet shortly before the hour mark. With maximum success. Ideally served by an omnipresent Verratti in the midfield and dangerous a few minutes before (52nd), Vitinha benefited from a favorable counter against Gallon to concretize the clear domination of the visitors (0-2, 59th). With total control, Christophe Galtier's men have dropped in intensity over the last half hour. But the reduction of the gap signed Chavalerin did not create panic in the Parisian ranks (1-2, 83rd). Quite the contrary. With a beautiful curled strike after a duel lost by Mbappé, Ruiz took charge of definitively ensuring a logical and crucial victory for PSG (1-3, 86th).

With six points ahead of Lens four days before the end of the season, PSG reacted well in a very tense context and are approaching an eleventh league title. Especially since his schedule seems favorable, starting with the reception of Ajaccio on the next day. Like the Corsican club, which is ahead of it by a length in the lower depths of the classification, Troyes is heading straight for Ligue 2. The relegation of Estac, which chained a sixteenth match without a win this Sunday, is not yet mathematical, but it seems inexorable.
