The Ligue 1 point: OM takes shelter, Monaco plays spoilsport, Nice at the bottom of the bucket…
Yesterday was the Multiplex of the 33rd day in Ligue 1 which was important 5 games from the capital end of the championship. We take stock of the top of the rankings and the mad race for European places.
Paris and Ramos unfold in Angers
PSG traveled to the field of Angers with the opportunity to be crowned later in the event of a better result than Marseille. And the Parisians have mastered the debates smoothly, despite a rotation of the workforce, with a success without incident on the score of 3-0 where Mbappé, Marquinhos and Ramos were the scorers. However, it will be necessary to wait for the next home game against Lens to see the Parisians win their 10th Ligue 1 title, since OM also won on their side.
A stunning OM against Nantes
OM scored a crucial success on home turf against FC Nantes. The Marseillais however came out frustrated from a first period where they dominated from the head and the shoulders (9 shots, 82% of possession) but found themselves trailing 2-1 at the break against ultra-realistic Nantes (2 shots pour 2 goals). More fear than harm, the Phocaeans managed to find the fault to overturn this match in the second act and win 3-2 through Payet and Harit. A precious victory for OM in their quest for the Champions League, which is now 6 points ahead of third Rennes.
Strasbourg wins clash against Rennes
A capital clash at Stade la Meinau between two candidates for the highest steps of the championship, RC Strasbourg and Stade Rennais. The Bretons were 3 units ahead at kick-off, which they lost at the final whistle since the Strasbourg residents signed the big performance by winning this clash with the score of 2-1, thanks in particular to a saving goal of one of the best Alsatian elements in the 77′, Ludovic Ajorque. The Strasbourgeois therefore chained an 11th match without defeat and reminded the equality of the Rennais. Second defeat in a row for the Bretons who will try to revive against Lorient.
Monaco offers the derby against Nice
OGC Nice had an appointment at the Stade Louis II for a new duel at the top of the table. The dynamics were opposed between the two clubs with Monegasques in full swing who remained on 4 victories in a row, against Nice in difficulty who had known only one success in their last 5 games. And the dynamic showed on the pitch, with more realistic Monegasques winning 1-0 through Golovin. A capital success which allows them to reach 5th place and inflate their hopes of the European Cup. The Aiglons stumble in 6th place.
