YOUTH RISING: NDJANTOU & DOUé GOALS SECURE PSG'S LIGUE 1 WINTER TOP SPOT
PSG secured a tight 3-2 win against Metz, relying on goals from youngsters Ndjantou and Doué to claim the top spot in Ligue 1 before the winter break, putting pressure on Lens.
Paris wrapped up their last league game of the year with a tight 3-2 victory over Metz, who sit at the bottom of the league. This win puts them at the top of Ligue 1 as they await Lens' game.
Goncalo Ramos and Quentin Ndjantou gave PSG a 2-0 lead. But Metz's Jessy Deminguet cut the lead in half just before halftime with a nice shot from outside the box.
After the break, PSG's Desire Doue scored, making it 3-1. Giorgi Tsitaishvili of Metz then fired in a rocket in the 81st minute to bring the score to 3-2, setting up a tense finish.
PSG's coach, Luis Enrique, missed Ousmane Dembele, Achraf Hakimi, and Marquinhos due to injuries. Yet, young wingers Ibrahim Mbaye (17) and Ndjantou (18) showed their potential.
Mbaye and Ndjantou teamed up for PSG's second goal. Mbaye got past his defender and sent in a low cross from the left, which Ndjantou turned into his first senior goal.
Doue, who came on at halftime after recovering from a hamstring injury, scored a goal against Metz's goalie, Jonathan Fischer.
Mbaye almost scored but was stopped by the crossbar. Doue's attempt after that was saved.
Tsitaishvili's late goal was a highlight, but PSG managed to hold on for the win.
Lens can take back the top spot in Ligue 1 if they beat Nice on Sunday. Metz stays at the bottom of the league with 11 points after 16 games.
PRESSURE ON LENS: LUIS ENRIQUE'S PSG TARGETS WIN AGAINST METZ TO RECLAIM LIGUE 1 TOP SPOT
Luis Enrique's PSG has been defined by constant changes and fitness issues. The match against last-place Metz is a chance to build confidence before the winter break.
PSG's form has been a bit up and down lately. After a big win against Rennes last weekend, they had a frustrating 0-0 draw at Bilbao midweek. They made chances but could not score.
PSG wants to beat Metz and get closer to Lens in the standings. This isn't the first time people have questioned PSG's scoring, with chances missed in both the league and Champions League. Tonight's game against last-place Metz looks like a good chance to fix that.
Regardless of today's result, Luis Enrique's team could end the week in second place. Lens, who are one point ahead, play Nice at home tomorrow, which is one to watch for Luis Enrique.
This is PSG’s final league match before the winter break. It's been a strange season for the defending champions. At times, they've looked great, easily beating teams, especially in the Champions League, where Bayer Leverkusen and Tottenham suffered, and the win against Barcelona was important.
Still, it’s been a tough season so far. Key attackers haven't been consistently fit, and fullbacks and midfielders have also been injured. Goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier was dropped for backup Matvei Safonov due to inconsistent form.
Besides injuries and bad luck, there's been a lack of consistency. The starting lineup often changes, with players like Gonçalo Ramos and Bradley Barcola sometimes left out for younger players.
Some fans think that once everyone is healthy, many of the team's problems will go away. PSG is doing well enough in the Champions League to almost guarantee advancement, but they are certainly not happy with their league results.
PSG will look at tonight’s game against Metz as a chance to gain confidence before the break, bring back players (Ousmane Dembélé and Desiré Doué might play), and put pressure on Lens before their game tomorrow. This season could still turn out to be something special for PSG.
KVARATSKHELIA DOUBLE: PSG SMASHES RENNES 5-0, STAYS ONE POINT FROM TOP
The Georgian star had his best performance in a PSG shirt, scoring twice in the 5-0 rout that successfully puts Luis Enrique's side back on track after a recent loss.
PSG got back on track in Ligue 1 with a solid 5-0 win against Rennes, thanks to two great goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. It was probably his best game since he joined the team.
The Georgian player was the star at the Parc des Princes, scoring in both halves. He kicked things off with an amazing run and a perfect shot. Later, he scored again from just outside the penalty area. PSG was in charge all night.
Kvaratskhelia Helps PSG Win After Recent Loss
After a tough 1-0 loss to Monaco, Luis Enrique’s team really needed to win to keep up with Lens, who are at the top of the league after beating Nantes 2-1. They couldn't afford to fall four points behind.
Even though several players were out with injuries—Désiré Doué, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Lucas Beraldo, Lucas Chevalier, and Illia Zabarnyi—PSG was totally in control. The only moment that made fans nervous was when Esteban Lepaul hit the post. Soon after, Lucas Hernández started the play that led to the first goal.
Kvaratskhelia ran fast with the ball, sped along the edge of the box, moved past several defenders, and fired a shot that no one could stop, putting PSG ahead.
Before the half ended, Senny Mayulu made it 2-0, finishing off a great pass from Joao Neves, which pretty much wrapped up the game early.
Rennes Falls Apart as PSG Takes Over
Any chance Rennes had of coming back was gone early in the second half. Kvaratskhelia scored again with a strong shot from the edge of the box. Then, Jérémy Jacquet was sent off after getting his second yellow card, leaving Rennes with only 10 players and no hope of winning.
With the game decided, Luis Enrique brought in some new players. Ousmane Dembélé kept getting back into shape after being injured, and Ibrahim Mbaye and Gonçalo Ramos both scored from long range near the end of the game.
This win keeps PSG just one point behind Lens. It gives the team a boost of confidence and shows that the defending champions can still lead the title race when their offence is working well.
