Kylian Mbappe shone in the match against OM, scoring a hat-trick and leading PSG to the top of Ligue 1.
Kylian Mbappé scored a hat-trick in the match against Olympique de Marseille, securing PSG a 4-2 victory. This result allowed the Parisians to overtake Nice in the league standings. Luis Enrique called Mbappé's performance 'a masterpiece of modern football.'
Classic with PSG dominance
The match started with a quick goal from Dembélé in the 7th minute, but Marseille equalized just 10 minutes later thanks to Aubameyang. The second half was completely dominated by Mbappé, who scored three precise strikes between the 53rd and 78th minutes.
When Kilian is in this kind of form, stopping him is impossible. We tried to shut down his zones, but today he was on another level.

Tactical changes by Luis Enrique
The Spanish coach made an unexpected rotation by starting Ugarte instead of Vitinha in midfield. This allowed for better control of the center of the pitch and created more attacking opportunities. Marsinho Liga missed his second consecutive match due to a hip injury.
PSG now leads Ligue 1 with 64 points, 2 points ahead of Nice. OM remains in 6th place, trailing the Champions League spots by 5 points.
