Paris Saint‑Germain consolidated their position at the top of Ligue1 with a solid 2‑0 win over Lyon. The match, played at the Saint‑Denis stadium, saw PSG dominate both in the playing and defensive phases, despite the presence of numerous absences in the squad.
LuisEnrique, the Spanish coach, praised the depth of the team, underlining how the less used players managed to make the difference. He mentioned Mayulu, Godt, Ndjantou, Dro and Beraldo, stating that he was very satisfied with their commitment and their ability to manage the game scenario. "I'm happy with what I saw, with the team's ability to play and manage the scenario. This is the key: the way in which these players who play a little less manage to make the difference," he declared.
The coach then dedicated a compliment to PauloFonseca, the Lyon coach, recognizing the difficulty of his tactical approach. "He is a quality coach, he always puts us in difficulty and deploys many players in the central area of the pitch. It is very complicated to find spaces against a team like that," explained Enrique. This observation highlights how Lyon's strategy made the match more complex for the Parisians.
Regarding the turning point of the match, Enrique highlighted the importance of the side lanes. "It was difficult in the first half, they ran a lot. In the second half we found more space and we were lucky enough to score two goals," he explained. The two goals, scored in the second half, closed the result and confirmed PSG's superiority on the pitch.
With this victory, PSG confirms itself at the top of the table, keeping the pressure on its rivals. The result demonstrates LuisEnrique's ability to obtain results even from the second lines, making the most of the depth of the squad. The Parisian club therefore remains in an advantageous position, with the hope of continuing to dominate Ligue1 in the coming weeks.
