Paris Saint-Germain moved three points clear at the top of Ligue 1 after edging Olympique Marseille 1-0 in Le Classique on Sunday evening. SLInt MORE:
PSG made two changes from their 1-1 draw against Benfica in the UEFA Champions League, as Lionel Messi returned from injury to join Kylian Mbappe and Neymar upfront while Fabian Ruiz replaced the suspended Sergio Ramos at centre-back.
Christophe Galtier's charges were all over Marseille, who were back pedaling but the hosts had to alter their centre-back pairing on 22 minutes after Danilo Pereira got injured and he was replaced by Nurdi Mukiele. PSG eventually punished Marseille from a counter-attack on the stroke of half-time after Mbappe freed up Neymar through on goal and the Brazilian broke the deadlock with a composed finish past Lopez.
Marseille continued with their momentum, as they kept PSG busy in their own half but the Parisians dealt with their threats, as they did not give away chances.
