It must have been
the shock at the top of the French championship. An OM-PSG poster finally up to par given the ranking of the two teams. Experience real suspense in the ambitions of the new Phocaeans, possibly armed to finally compete with their best enemies on the field. And it’s not a match at the Vélodrome stadium, in the closing of the 9th^e League 1 level.

Too quickly, too easily, the Parisians were able to gain the upper hand despite the incandescence of the Marseille public, Joao Neves then took advantage of the generosity of the Olympian defense (0-1, 7^e). And while OM was already struggling to find its rhythm, a red card certainly severely dealt by Mr. Letexier to Amine Harit for a stamp on Marquinhos rattled the glass of Provençal pretensions (20^e).

Leader of the Parisian soul

In the process, Balerdi found himself alone in front of Rulli’s cage, signing an improbable csc that looked like a coup de grace (0-2, 29^e). And Barcola added even more to the bill before the break, with a new approximation of the Marseille rearguard (0-3, 40^e). The chalice to the dregs for the OM supporters, some of whom then left the stands.

In a second period without much relief, the aura of PSG does not mean an important victory in the absence of a spectacular view that the score does not suggest. Building on this success, the Parisians, who belong to the last undefeated collective this season in Ligue 1, assert their leadership now three steps ahead of ASM – six ahead of OM.
