A little less dominant lately, PSG sent a message Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes (3-1). Confiscating the ball from OL, the Parisians played their part perfectly.
From our special correspondent at the Parc des Princes.
The pride of the champion. To those who hoped to see theOL stand up to PSG and thus relaunch the title race in the second part of the season, the Parisian team clearly sent them a message (3-1). It is not to be buried so easily, although it still has the same qualities and the same faults. However, in Ligue 1, this remains enough to get the better of a Lyon team which was nevertheless in full swing. “We are the only winners among the top nine. And this against an OL who were on a good dynamic. We achieved our objectives”was satisfied Luis Enriquealways so talkative at a press conference.
“The intention is always to dominate the match”
Thanks, once again to a perfect start to the match, the PSG quickly took the lead to never let go of this advantage. L'OL tried to come back with Georges Mikautadze's goal but the gap in level was far too great on Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes. Lyon's playing intentions were also a blessing for the players of Luis Enrique which managed to suck up the opposing block, only to explode. “More transitions? It all depends on the opponent. If there are transitions, it's because the opponent is higher. Most teams don't do that and it's therefore impossible to play in transition. Lyon dared to press and when this is the case, it creates spaces. The intention is always to dominate the match. It was rather successful in this shock of the 15th day of Ligue 1.
