PSG beats Lens and takes off at the top of the standings

PSG takes off at the top of Ligue 1. Saint-Germain took a six-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 by dominating (1-0) while continuing to lack offensive efficiency a few days away to meet Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Imperial samba

The score could once again have been much larger, as Paris missed in front of Lens goalkeeper Brice Samba, author of seven saves.

After the opening score (4th), the Parisians cruelly lacked realism to achieve domination in all sectors of the game, even after the exclusion of Lensois Khusanov (59th).

From the start of the match, Will Still's players were totally taken by the high pressure and the aggressiveness of the Parisians, who kept the ball and increased the attacks. A successful performance right up to the edge of the Lens area.

One of the best defenses in the championship (7 goals conceded), which suffered its first defeat last weekend against , suffered a lot, notably Jonathan Gradit against Bradley Barcola. But it did not completely sink, helped by Parisian clumsiness.

Dembélé's 5th goal

Leggy and twirling on his left side, Barcola managed to get rid of Gradit's tackle and then served Ousmane Dembélé perfectly to open the scoring, alone at the far post (4th). The one who seemed to be touched in the thigh for a few moments before returning to the field, scored his 5th goal of the season.

From its second offensive, Paris took the lead, suggesting a card against the Sang et Or. The opposite ultimately happened with a shower of missed opportunities: Ruiz (15th, 30th), Dembélé (15th), Barcola (23rd, 45+4th, 72nd), Hakimi (19th, 41st), Asensio (35th, 42nd, 43rd), Doué (76th, 90+3), Lee (67th)

After the demonstration against OM at the Vélodrome (3-0), where the Parisians controlled everything and scored three goals, the counter remained stuck on Saturday afternoon at just one goal.
