PSG inch closer to title with win over Marseille as Montpellier game abandoned
Gulf Today
|March 18, 2025
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) completed a fine week by beating bitter rivals Marseille 3-1 on Sunday to take a big step towards another Ligue | title, while the clash between relegation battlers Montpellier and Saint-Etienne was abandoned due to crowd trouble.
-
PSG followed their Champions League victory over Liverpool on Tuesday by getting the better of Marseille at the Parc des Princes in a meeting of the top two in Ligue 1.
Ousmane Dembele continued his prolific recent form by scoring the opener and Nuno Mendes made it 2-0 for PSG before half-time, with Pol Lirola’s own goal securing victory in the second half after Amine Gouiri had pulled one back.
Luis Enrique’s side are still unbeaten after 26 games in Ligue 1 this season and now lead Marseille by a mammoth 19 points at the top with eight matches to play.
It means PSG could be crowned champions for the 11th time in 13 seasons during the next round of games on the last weekend in March.
If Marseille lose at Reims and Monaco draw with Nice on Saturday, March 29, Paris would be able to wrap up the title with a win at Saint-Etienne the same day.
“This has been an exceptional week for us,” said Luis Enrique.
