This Saturday afternoon, PSG hosted RC Lens for the tenth day of Ligue 1. In a match that they completely dominated, PSG only won 1-0 despite numerous opportunities.
For his return to the field after his success against
Marseille last Sunday (0-3), the
PSG received – at Princes Park – the RC Lens this Saturday afternoon on behalf of the tenth day of Ligue 1. For this meeting, placed four days before the match of
Champions League against theAtlético de Madrid, Luis Enrique had brought a surprise into his eleven with the tenure of Matvey Safonov
in the goals. Little asked for, the Russian international did what was necessary when he was worried. Its defense, composed ofAchraf Hakimi, Marquinhos,
Willian Pacho et Nuno Mendeswas once again successful. The two full-backs also contributed offensively, even if the actions were unsuccessful.

Ousmane Dembélé, man of the match
In a meeting where the PSG had the ball most of the time, the midfielder consisting of João Neves, Vitinha et Fabian
Ruiz was below its current level, especially for the two Portuguese internationals. The Spaniard was in perfect line with his start to the season with the
PSGvery far from its very good level displayed with theSpain. The only scorer of the match, Ousmane Dembélé was the best Parisian on the pitch. The French international further destabilized the Lens defense even if, as too often, he faltered in the last gesture. His partner in the attack, Bradley Barcolaeven if he was involved in the only goal of the match, struggled to make the difference as he has done so well since the start of the season. Holder in false number 9, Marco Asensio did not succeed in his match. Even though he had two good chances, he never managed to stand out and weigh on the Lens defense.
