Paris Saint-Germain widened their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table to 11 points with a commanding 4-1 win against Lyon on Sunday. The first half saw all five goals, with Goncalo Ramos netting a brace and Lucas Beraldo also getting on the scoresheet for PSG, while Ernest Nuamah scored a consolation for Lyon.
Despite missing key players Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, PSG's performance was exceptional. The league leaders took a 2-0 lead within six minutes, and the first half saw a total of 20 attempts on goal. Lyon's attempts to take the game to PSG backfired, as they left themselves vulnerable at the back.
Goncalo Ramos, Bradley Barcola, and Lucas Beraldo were standout performers for PSG, with Nemanja Matic scoring an own goal to open the scoring. PSG comfortably controlled the game in the second half, securing a convincing victory.
PSG will have to wait at least another week to clinch the Ligue 1 title, as Monaco's earlier victory means the title race continues. However, PSG remains on course to secure the title at home against Le Havre next week.
The match highlighted PSG's strength even without Mbappe, offering a glimpse of the team's potential post-Mbappe era. The link-up play between PSG's young talents was particularly impressive, indicating that the team may be able to cope with Mbappe's potential departure.
Overall, PSG's performance against Lyon showcased their dominance and ability to perform at a high level, even in the absence of key players.
