This time, there were no bad surprises for Paris. Three days after its defeat in Lorient (3-2), the capital club largely won against Nîmes, the last in Ligue 1, at the Parc des Princes (3-0). At the end of a match largely dominated in the first period, but with a few air holes in the second, Mauricio Pochettino’s players remain in contact with Lille and Lyon thanks to the achievements of Angel Di Maria, Pablo Sarabia and Kylian Mbappé.

PSG still without Navas to face Nîmes

Despite the wide score, there was not really the way. A few days after its unexpected setback in Brittany and before the Classic against Marseille on Sunday, Paris was full of points, even if its defensive performance was not likely to reassure its coach, Mauricio Pochettino, admittedly still deprived of Marquinhos and Verratti and who had chosen to line up Coling Dagba and Mitchel Bakker as full-backs. While Neymar, suspended, was also absent, the Parisians first feasted offensively in the first act, facing Nîmes too timid, unable to get the ball out.

And yet, Nîmes had the opportunity to restart the match …
The Crocos suffered the Parisian waves very early (5th, 7th, 11th), and, by dint of trying to revive properly against an opponent applied to pressing, logically ended up cracking on a bad pass from Lamine Fomba, well exploited by Di Maria (1-0, 18th). The Argentinean, author of his first goal since November, then, with a superb center, allowed Pablo to double the lead (2-0, 36th).

The Parisian stroll was suddenly interrupted upon returning from the locker room. More aggressive, placed higher on the field to recover more balls, the players of Jérôme Arpinon, have much more requested Sergio Rico, replacing a Navas also on the flank in the Parisian goal. While the Spanish goalkeeper had already had to push back a header from Fomba on his line (39th) a little earlier, Renaud Ripart’s teammates shot 15 times on goal in the second half alone.

But the Gardois are not the 19th attack of the elite for nothing, and their clumsiness in front of the goal (47th, 49th, 51st, 62nd, 66th) cost them dearly, since Mbappé came to kill all suspense with a superb strike right (3-0, 68th). Author of a last stop (87th), Rico then allowed his to continue on a 5th clean sheet in a row at home. With this 15th victory of the season, PSG remains above all three lengths from Lille, leader, and can therefore calmly tackle the Classic, Sunday, in Marseille.
