Paris Saint-Germain secured a hard-fought Ligue 1 victory over Marseille in Le Classique, a result celebrated by head coach Luis Enrique and captain Marquinhos, according to Goal.com. The match, played on Sunday, saw PSG edge past a Marseille side that finished with ten men. Torres was on target again for the Parisians, while Marquinhos also scored, as reported by Vanguard News and 101 Great Goals.
Goal.com notes that Vitinha responded to claims that PSG had been "whitewashed" by Marseille, pushing back on the suggestion that the visitors had dominated. The same outlet's player ratings highlighted Marquinhos as a key figure who "rises to settle a fiery Classique," while Kvaratskhelia was said to have struggled. The victory keeps PSG's campaign on track, with the result described as a resilient performance against a determined opponent.
The win adds three points to PSG's Ligue 1 tally and reinforces their position at the top of the table. Marseille's dismissal of a player proved costly, as they were unable to hold off the Parisians despite a spirited display. The match lived up to the intense rivalry of Le Classique, with both sides creating chances in a heated contest.
Next up, PSG will look to build on this result in their upcoming Ligue 1 fixture, while Marseille aim to recover from the defeat.
