Trois-PSG (1-3): at least PSG did their job

It’s not about gargling, shouting for a feat and ensuring that the week ends perfectly. But the Parisian evening, and this is important in the somewhat crazy, sometimes even lunar, context of the last few days, this Sunday, May 7, in Troyes has found a hint of normality. On paper, there was nothing to hope for from the championship leader, except for the success on the lawn of such a weak Estac, with the failure at home since August 2022 and underfilling in anticipation of an imminent return to Ligue 2.

But in the absence of a suspended Messi for skipping school, a still-injured Neymar, and a few others, Paris have at least done their job given their recent performances, including last week’s minor against Lorient (1-3). . ), represents an improvement that looks like a return to normal for a team that seemed to have lost their soul and their confidence.

Another exemption from guilt at the end of the match

The success gleaned at the Obe stadium clearly does not guarantee that the capital club has resumed its eleventh title track and that no obstacles will make it difficult for them over the past four days.

The culpable release at the end of the match, Danilo’s lack of commitment, coupled with Donnarumma’s misjudgment of Chavaleren’s score cut (82nd) ​​are all clues that remind us that Paris is not cured of all its ills. And that even one of the worst students in the class can come and tug on his ear a little when he gives up.

But Paris, and this is the main thing, took care of the basics, in particular under the influence of Kylian Mbappe, who even before the match was not in the dark that Alexandre Lacazette, the author of the PR quadruple, had just robbed him of the first place in the rating tables. It took the Paris striker just eight minutes to score his 24th goal and join Rodanien at the head of the championship triggers.

Faced with the Trojans clung to the last thirty meters for a long time, Paris had long ago given the encounter the appearance of a practice session, as he had to play a pass at ten to breach the Trojan wall. Fifteen shots in the first period, sixteen on the way back from the locker room… It’s been a long time since capital football players had the opportunity to try their luck so much.

Fan Anger

After Mbappe, only Vitinha, two stages after Verratti’s millimeter serve, then Ruiz will find a net against Gauthier Gallon, who will play a big role in the Trojan cages. Despite some tremors, especially during Donnarumma’s well-felt intervention in front of Balde, PSG broke free from the pressure from Lens and regained a six-step lead at the top of Ligue 1.

To see the future with a little more serenity than in the last days. Undoubtedly not enough to reconcile him with some of his supporters. This Sunday, almost two hundred of them remained at the gates of the stadium in retaliation for demonstrating some in front of Neymar for a week. Even a Parisian parking lot sang “Resignation,” and a banner was unfurled that read: “Nasser, a president who prefers greenbacks to his supporters. Welcome to PSG. “A club that has found some semblance of normality.
