Paris Saint-Germain have tightened their grip on the Ligue 1 title following a dominant 3-0 away victory over Angers at the Stade Raymond Kopa this Sunday.
Taking full advantage of title rivals Lens stuttering in a 3-3 draw with Brest, Luis Enrique’s side established a commanding six-point lead at the summit with just four matches remaining.
South Korean international Lee Kang-in stole the show with a goal and an assist, while Lucas Beraldo also found the net as the Parisians maintained nearly 80% possession throughout the contest.
The match served as a vital dress rehearsal for Tuesday’s high-stakes Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes.
Luis Enrique utilized the opportunity to hand Fabian Ruiz his first start in three months following a knee injury, while experimentations continued in the absence of the injured Vitinha.
Lucas Beraldo was particularly impressive in a hybrid defensive midfield role, emerging as a genuine tactical alternative to anchor the engine room against the German giants.
Despite a late red card for Gonçalo Ramos, the victory ensures PSG head into their biggest game of the season in peak domestic form.
Focus now shifts entirely to Europe, as the reigning French champions seek a positive result at home to move one step closer to an elusive Champions League final.
