PSG need some kind of result here tonight against Manchester City (themselves in only a slightly less precarious position) to go into next week with a realistic chance of qualifying Dembélé, who missed the last two games through illness, starts from the bench - Kang-in Lee starts instead

PLAYER RATINGS | Monaco 1-0 Aston Villa: Monégasques guarantee Champions League play-off spot with first win of 2025: -> Wilfried Singo - 10 -> Radosław Majecki - 8 -> Takumi Minamino - 4 📝 @rafajuc.bsky.social reporting from the Stade Louis-II

PLAYER RATINGS | PSG 3-1 Lyon: League leaders go 7 points clear. -> Désiré Doué - 7 -> Georges Mikautadze - 6 -> Ousmane Dembélé - 6 -> Ainsley Maitland-Niles - 2 ✍️ @rafajuc.bsky.social reporting from the Parc des Princes

FT | PSG 3-1 Lyon: A late Ramos strike, from a Barcola shot spilled by Perri, eventually put PSG out of strike. The league leaders go seven points clear, after a match that was notably stopped for several minutes due to offensive chanting from the home fans.

88 | GOAL: PSG 3-1 Lyon (Ramos)

52 | Achraf Hakimi and Vitinha have gone over to the PSG ultras - after a discussion with the referee - to ask to them stop offensive chanting.

HT | PSG 2-1 Lyon: The hosts dominating proceedings after those two early goals (Dembélé and Vitinha, the latter from the spot), but Lyon pulled one back with a fantastic chipped finish from Mikautadze. Les Gones will have had a strong case for a penalty before that, when Doué brought down Nuamah.

39 | GOAL: PSG 2-1 Lyon (Mikautadze)

14 | GOAL: PSG 2-0 Lyon (Vitinha)

8 | GOAL: PSG 1-0 Lyon (Dembélé)

FT | PSG 1-1 Nantes: The league leaders drop two points, as Les Canaris earn a well-deserved point to end their losing streak. Luis Enrique's men struggled to break down a well-drilled defence, led by the reliably authoritative Nicolas Pallois.

HT | PSG 1-1 Nantes: Achraf Hakimi put the hosts ahead early on, but a well-taken equaliser from Abline would punish PSG for their profligacy in front of goal in the rest of the opening 45 minutes.

38 | GOAL: PSG 1-1 Nantes (Abline)

2 | GOAL: PSG 1-0 Nantes (Hakimi)

Brest are flying high in the Champions League but that certainly isn’t the case in Ligue 1 with Eric Roy even evoking the need to stave off relegation after a 3-2 defeat to AS Monaco. ✍️ @lukeentwistle.bsky.social reporting from Monaco. ⬇️ www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2024/eric-ro...

FT | PSG 3-0 Toulouse: Late goals from Beraldo and Vitinha wrap up the win, with PSG barely needing to move out of first gear after largely uninspiring performances from both sides. Luis Enrique's men now look to Munich.

90 | GOAL: PSG 3-0 Toulouse (Vitinha)

85 | GOAL: PSG 2-0 Toulouse (Beraldo)

HT | PSG 1-0 Toulouse: A match which had otherwise been played at a torpid pace was lit up by an excellent volley from outside the box by João Neves. As it stands, PSG restore their six-point lead ahead of their midweek trip to Munich.
