PSG defeat Marseille 3-1 to extend lead at the top of Ligue 1
Paris Saint-Germain secured a 3-1 victory over Olympique Marseille in their latest Ligue 1 encounter, further solidifying their dominance in French football. This win marked their seventh consecutive league triumph over Marseille, extending their lead at the top of the standings to 19 points.
The match, held at the Parc des Princes, saw PSG maintain 60.4% possession compared to Marseille's 39.6%. PSG attempted 16 shots, with five on target, while Marseille had 11 attempts, two of which were on target. Notably, PSG's Ousmane Dembele continued his impressive form, contributing significantly to the team's attacking prowess.
Marseille, under the guidance of manager Roberto De Zerbi, have shown resilience this season, currently holding the second position in the league. However, their recent performances have been inconsistent, leading to dropped points and a primary focus on securing the runner-up spot.
PSG's relentless pursuit of both domestic and European honors remains evident, as they continue to excel in Ligue 1 and have advanced past formidable opponents like Liverpool in the Champions League. Their performance against Marseille serves as a testament to their strength and ambition in the current season.
