Luis Enrique “happy” with his team
Luis Enrique on the microphone of Bein Sports: “Donnarumma is not injured. We knew it would be a difficult match. We did well, he lacked a little serenity. But I am happy with my team, I I like what I see. The Champions League is coming. The team has the right attitude, we have a lot of chances, even if we don’t score every time. offensive players (Barcola, Dembélé). I believe we are better than last year because it is more difficult to score. The objective is to have more of the ball than the opponent to maintain the pressure. Today, there were too many transitions.”
It’s over, PSG wins 1-0 against Lens!
Dembélé’s quick goal on an offering from Barcola (4th) finally made the difference.
PSG however had opportunities to make the break, but were too clumsy or fell on a great Samba.
Lens, as nervous as his coach Still on the bench, finished at 10 after Khusanov’s expulsion.
Gifted is restless
Elimination on the left, Nice technique to transplant, and hits wide. It was offside.
5 minutes of additional time
Will the Lensois have one last opportunity?
Lens suffers Parisian possession
It’s complicated to recover the ball.
Yellow for Danso
The Lens defense was particularly in a bad mood today (and Danso probably not at 100% physically).
The Parisian ultras continue to push
However, PSG is still not safe, the fault of its clumsiness.
7 stops for Samba today
This is his record in the championship.
Andy Diouf can’t get back on track correctly
The Lensois have fewer cartridges than a few minutes ago, but a cross from Zaroury finds Diouf who does not target with the right volley.
The Parisians are playing it too nicely!
That’s two actions in a row in the area repelled by Samba, the first of which was with too gentle passes in the area.
Doué is blocked at the last moment
Nice cross race in the area, but Malang Sarr blocks the shot. It passes a few centimeters from the skylight.
FANTASTIC SAMBA STOP!
Barcola rolls in from the entrance to the surface. It goes into the top corner, but Samba relaxes and slaps the ball away.
Zaire-Emery will play 20 minutes
He replaces Fabian Ruiz, who was whistled. Asensio gives way to Doué.
Lens continues to shake up PSG
Ojediran goes deep and is blocked. The corner does nothing, but the Sang et Or are not disturbed by the expulsion of Khusanov.
Andy Diouf takes offensive responsibilities
We see more and more of the Lensois midfielder, who tries a difficult shot and sends it over the top.
Lensois double change
El Aynaoui and Sarr replace Thomasson and Gradit.
Andy Diouf drags his crampons
It was again very, very limited. The Lensois must keep their nerves.
First Parisian changes
Dembélé was replaced by Kang-In Lee.
Khusanov is expelled
It gets extremely complicated for the Lensois.
The referee will watch the video
It’s not for Marquinhos, but for Khusanov a little before. The RCL central defender presses well on Hakimi’s shin.
Marquinhos is the first informed Parisian
Bad move on Khusanov in midfield without even playing the ball. Tempers are heating up.
Danso is found on the corner
The Austrian manages to smack the ball as he moves backwards, but it misses.
Beautiful percussion from Diouf in the axis
His right shot is deflected by the heel of Nuno Mendes and ends up in a corner.
The Lensois continue to seek high
For the moment there is a lack of technical quality in the final third to make the difference.
Gradit is warned
Again a late tackle which cuts off a transition.
Here we go again!
No change at the break.
Tensions between Lensois and Parisians in the corridor
“You don’t have to say that! Who do you think you are?!”, blurted a Lensois to Parisians on the images broadcast by BeIN Sports at half-time.
It’s the break!
1-0 for PSG after this very lively first period, and perfectly launched by a goal from Dembélé on an offering from Barcola (4th).
Sotoca was injured, but everything remains possible for the Lensois who did not have any big chances but were restless.
Will Still est averti
The Lensois coach claimed the blame for Barcola’s action too vehemently.
BARCOLA SENDS A DROP!
Duel in the back with Gradit which would perhaps have resulted in a foul, but the following shot was sent well above while the Parisian had time to adjust.
Nuno Mendes is still on the ground
Replacements have already been sent to both sides anyway. The Portuguese side of PSG gets up and resumes.
4 minutes of added time
The first period was pleasant, but notably cut short by Sotoca’s injury.
Khusanov is the first to know
Far from his central defender position, he tackles Nuno Mendes hard.
ASENSIO FALLS ON SAMBA!
Barcola gives it perfectly in the race. Asensio could have looked for the cross for Dembélé, but hits Samba from a tight angle.
Asensio manages to gain depth
His powerful shot finds the outside of the small net.
Dembélé gets treatment
It seems like a simple move.
Vitinga’s big dry cleaners
The Portuguese alone forces an opponent to pass from the last 30 meters to a back pass to Samba.
DECISIVE SAMBA PARADE!
Beautiful horizontal from the Lensois goalkeeper after a ball scratched very high by PSG. What a game !
Incredible pass in the void of Pacho
On a transition, the central defender chose to play blindly on the right, thinking that Dembélé followed when not at all.
Chavez crosses, Machado takes the lead
One piston for another. The center goes too high and Machado can’t hit the ball enough to surprise Safonov.
Too soft strike from Ruiz
There was probably a better choice than hitting from a tight angle when there were people in the box.
Ojediran is verbally warned
We even expected a yellow card after his immediate intervention to avoid a transition after a ball lost by Lens.
Safonov shows his kicking game
Long clearance which almost came directly face-to-face on the other side.
Lens is not in great shape
The RCL has won only one of its last 7 Ligue 1 matches (5 draws, 1 defeat), against Saint-Etienne on October 19.
Safonov is attentive
Zaroury transplants and rolls with the right. It lacks a little power and the Russian goalkeeper calmly captures it after good anticipation.
The corner is finally played
No penalty on Danso’s involuntary hand. The Lensois manage to free themselves after the corner kick.
Sotoca out with injury
He is replaced by Ojediran, Nigerian midfielder.
VAR in progress
We wait before playing the corner.
Danso very close to his camp
Hakimi overflows and crosses at ground level. Danso is on the trajectory, the ball goes up, touches his hand, and ends up in a corner very close to the goal…
Sotoca gets on the ground…
He rubs his left adductor while waiting for the trainers.
INSTANTLY, DEMBÉLÉ FINDS THE POST!
PSG number 10 recovers the ball in front of the area, gets closer and rolls in with the left. Samba doesn’t dive and the ball hits the outside of the post.
SAMBA RELEASES A TOE STRIKE!
Big rubble from Hakimi who resists Danso and crosses back for Ruiz, who comes up against the Lens goalkeeper.
Barcola-Dembélé, a duo that thrives
In Ligue 1 this season, the former Lyonnais has scored 8 goals and added his 2nd assist, while PSG number 10 scored his 5th goal in the league (4 assists).
PSG on a good series against Lens
Paris SG have won their last 3 matches against Lens in Ligue 1 and could equal their best series against this opponent in the elite (4 in 1983-1984, 1993-1994 and 1996-1997).
We are going to have spaces
Paris once again has the opportunity to project itself quickly, even if the final center is clear.
CHAVEZ SHOULD HAVE STRIKED!
Left-handed aligned on the right, the Ecuadorian inherits a good shift from Thomaasson after a quick action but prefers to control to get back on his right foot. Strike blocked.
PSG ALREADY STRIKES!
Barcola goes alone on the left and has plenty of time to adjust a cross at the far post for Ousmane Dembélé, who cannot miss this offering (that’s saying something). 1-0!
Danso sends a pass a little too deep
Too bad, there were calls after a nice high recovery from the Austrian.
Barcola hits, but pushes the ball six meters
Quickly caught by several defenders, the former Lyonnais cannot find space.
Here we go!
Kick-off given by the Parisians, directly at the feet of the surprise Safonov.
The Virage Auteuil event
Large canvas with the name of the turn as players enter.
The mocking banner of the Parisian ultras after OM-PSG
“One more victory against less than nothing”, display the Parisian ultras in the Auteuil corner, a week after PSG’s 3-0 victory against OM at the Vélodrome.
The PSG lineup, with Safonov in goal
Safonov – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes – Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz – Dembélé, Asensio, Barcola
The eleven of RC Lens has fallen
Samba – Chavez, Gradit, Danso, Khusanov, Machado – Thomasson, Diouf, Zaroury – Sotoca, Nzola
RC Lens traveled light: many absentees to deplore
Will Still will have to deal without Ruben Aguilar or Angelo Fulgini. Wesley Saïd and Martin Satriano are also injured, as is Jimmy Cabot. Facundo Medina is suspended. Hervé Koffi, Nampalys Mendy and David Pereira da Costa return to the group.
A group without surprises for PSG
Gonçalo Ramos having only resumed training this week with the ball away from the group, the Portuguese striker is still far from being able to apply for a place in the group. Lucas Hernandez continues his recovery protocol. Apart from these two players, no major absences are to be deplored for Luis Enrique who will once again be spoiled for choice when it comes to making up his team. Only Lucas Beraldo is suspended for this meeting.
The Parc des Princes in search of its new microphone star
Facing RC Lens, PSG will test their third speaker of the season since the departure of the emblematic Michel Montana. Two men have already taken turns at the microphone: host Miguel Derennes during the first four meetings at the Park, then Hervé Koller during the last two. Saturday, it’s Jean-Luc Guizonne’s turn to take the stage. Passed by the Star Academy in the mid-2000s, by the troupe of the musical comedy “The Lion King”, and that of “Chicago”, this singer, big fan of PSG, is also the companion of Charlotte Namura-Guizonne, new presenter of PSG TV this season.
Hello everyone
Welcome to the RMC Sport site and app to follow this very beautiful poster between a Parisian leader who must consolidate a significant success in Marseille and RC Lens who, even if weakened, remains a client in Ligue 1, of which he is the best defense. An ideal opponent for PSG with a view to the Champions League. Four days before hosting Atlético with the obligation to win, the Parisians will not be able to relax against the Sang et Or and will have to show their best face to continue to progress. As for the Lensois, they will still have to combat their main flaw this season, this offensive inefficiency which is chasing them.
