Paris club showed strength in a crucial match against Olympique, strengthening their lead in the French championship.
PSG crushed Marseille 4-1 in the 28th round of Ligue 1. Kylian Mbappé scored a brace, while Lucas Hernandez and Marco Asensio completed the rout of their arch-rivals.
Mbappe is at it again.
The French forward continued his impressive streak by scoring two goals in the first half. These are already Mbappé's 22nd and 23rd goals in the current Ligue 1 season.
Especially impressive was his second goal—a solo run through half the field with a spectacular finish into the far corner.
When Kylian is in this form, stopping him is practically impossible. Today he showed why he's considered the best player in the world.

The tactical changes paid off.
Luis Enrique unexpectedly fielded Vitinha as a left-back, which completely neutralized Marseille's attacks down the flank. The Portuguese made 5 tackles and 3 key passes.
In the center of the field, Ugarte and Zairem-Amouni completely dominated, creating 85% of accurate passes into the final third.
After this victory, PSG extended their lead over second place to 12 points, while Marseille risks dropping out of the Champions League spots.
