Paris Saint-Germain completely outclassed Olympique de Marseille in a totally one-sided Classique at the Parc des Princes. A clear 5-0 win, total domination, attacking flair and an overwhelmed Marseille defense: Paris delivered a masterclass, driven by a brilliant Dembélé and a team fully in control from start to finish.
PSG struck early and never allowed Marseille to breathe. From kickoff, Parisian pressure smothered Marseille’s buildup play, while Nuno Mendes’ forward runs caused constant damage. From one of them, Dembélé opened the scoring after a perfect assist. Marseille tried to press but failed to play the ball out cleanly.
Relentless Paris Dominance in Le Classique
Paris kept full control of the match and created chance after chance. Barcola and Doué caused havoc on the wings, while João Neves dictated the tempo through the middle. Dembélé then produced the move of the match with a solo run finished by a powerful strike under the bar to make it 2-0 at halftime. Marseille were already overwhelmed in both intensity and technical quality.
After the break, the pattern did not change. The Parisians kept piling on chances, hit the woodwork, and forced errors from the Marseille defense. Medina scored an own goal under pressure, then Kvaratskhelia netted a stunning volley after a fast team move. The match turned into a full demonstration.
The substitutions did nothing to slow Paris down. Kang-in Lee, just minutes after coming on, added another goal with a near-post strike. PSG kept attacking until the end, hit the bar again, and lifted the crowd. Marseille were barely dangerous throughout and left with a heavy defeat.
