VENUE: Parc des Princes, Paris, France

Fresh from a dominant win in Le Classique and plentiful success at FIFA’s The Best awards just down the road, Paris Saint-Germain resume the Ligue 1 title fight at home to Nantes on Saturday night.

 

 

Les Parisiens put Marseille to the sword 3-0 last weekend, while Les Canaris continued the defence of their Coupe de France by beating Lens 2-1 in midweek.

A brace for Mbappe took him level with Edinson Cavani as PSG’s highest goalscorer of all time on 200 strikes – doing so in a mere 246 games – and the Frenchman turned provider for Messi to score his 700th club career goal in between his two strikes, both of which were set up by the silky Argentine.

 

 

From teammates on the pitch to rivals in the concert hall, Messi added to his ever-growing haul of accolades by being crowned FIFA’s The Best Men’s Player for 2022 over Mbappe and Karim Benzema on Monday evening, but individual honours for the two world-beaters will pale into insignificance this weekend.

By putting three past Marseille without reply last week, PSG opened up an eight-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table – amassing 60 points from their 25 games this term – as Christophe Galtier’s decision to revert to the three-man backline from earlier in the season paid dividends and then some.

 

 

Next on the agenda for PSG is extending their astonishing unbeaten home run in Ligue 1 to 35 games – having survived a few scares to defeat Lille 4-3 a couple of weekends ago – but with the second leg of their Champions League tie with Bayern Munich to come next week, Galtier may find that his players’ minds are starting to wander.

 

 

Prior to PSG’s win over Marseille, Les Olympiens had ended their Classique rivals’ hopes of glory in the Coupe de France. In contrast, Nantes served Lens a slice of humble pie in the knockout tournament two weeks on from losing to Les Sang et Or in the top division.

 

 

Being forced to play Wednesday’s quarter-final behind closed doors as punishment for their fans’ use of pyrotechnics in last year’s final victory, Nantes were indebted to a pair of Andy Delort penalties after Seko Fofana’s smart opener, keeping their hopes of back-to-back titles alive amid their other domestic and European struggles.

The Europa League is now a distant memory for Antoine Kombouare’s men following a 4-1 aggregate loss to Juventus in the knockout round playoffs, while successive Ligue 1 defeats to Lens and most recently Rennes have left them 13th in the standings – safely seven points clear of the drop zone, though.
