Paris Saint Germain appears more consistent with each passing game and it is too much for this obscure Olympique de Marseille, which is a puppet in the hands of Luis Enrique’s team, which is superior (4-0).
Even the injury of Kylian Mbappé in the first minutes of the game did not affect the game. The Frenchman stayed on the pitch until the 30th minute, when he requested a substitution, but had little impact on the game as he sprained his ankle and was restless.
It certainly helped that things turned around quickly. With a beautiful free-kick, Hakimi Achraf put the game on the back foot and everything was turned upside down. There was only one scare for PSG and that was Vitinha letting a point-blank header bounce off the crossbar.
No more offensive news from Marseille for the rest of the game. The dominance, as usual, came from a PSG with long possessions but not denying the possibility of attacking spaces with Dembélé and Kolo Muani. This second player made his debut in the PSG shirt in the 35th minute, collecting a dead ball after Hakimi shot against the post.
The only possibility for Marseille, without Marcelino on the bench, to get into the game is to achieve a quick reaction after the break. The opposite happened. PSG took advantage very quickly to kill off the game with Dembélé’s first assist of the season, putting in a good cross for Gonçalo Ramos (47′).
The rest is a breeze. Placid game for PSG and very dominated, without struggling and with Donnarumma as another spectator on the pitch. And so, Ramos again and in a counterattack, scored the fourth after a great run by Muani on the right and closed the scoring (89′).
