Three days is a short time to digest an inglorious elimination in the Champions League. Still groggy from their failed performance in the week against Bayern Munich, PSG saved themselves an additional headache by going to win, Saturday March 11, in Brest during the 27th day of Ligue 1. But the Parisians can thank their star striker, Kylian Mbappé, who once again saved them in stoppage time with a decisive goal against the poorly ranked Bretons (15th).
Christophe Galtier's troops thus remain at the top of the championship with eleven points ahead of OM, who host Strasbourg on Sunday.
Despite the opener signed Carlos Soler (37th), the Parisian rearguard again gave signs of feverishness, yielding six minutes later in front of the speed of Franck Honorat (43rd) before a deep opening of Lionel Messi bound for Mbappé did not bend the Brestois at the very end of the game (90th).
Mbappé's 19th Ligue 1 goal this season
In the absence of Neymar, who underwent ankle surgery in Qatar on Friday and whose end of the season is already in jeopardy, Kylian Mbappé, captain at kick-off, and Lionel Messi have still made it in together an unworthy copy of their talent and status, like against Bayern. But the inspiration of the Argentine world champion and the clinical efficiency of the Frenchman, who joins Lille's Jonathan David at the top of the scoring charts with 19 goals, ended up making the difference.
In the fight for Europe, Rennes did not do a very good operation in the afternoon by bringing back a small point from Auxerre (0-0), yet in the fight to maintain. With this second game without a win in a row, the Bretons do not take off (5th) and point to four lengths from Lens, traveling Sunday to Clermont. The Auxerrois come out of the red zone (16th), one length ahead of Strasbourg.
