Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored twice and Désiré Doué added another as PSG moved four points clear of second-placed Lens. The two title rivals will meet in the penultimate fixture of the campaign. PSG have had two league games postponed to help them prepare for Champions League ties, a scheduling decision that Lens publicly decried.
PSG are now in a run of nine matches in 28 days. The club were knocked out of the Coupe de France by Paris FC in January. On Sunday, Gonçalo Ramos had a penalty saved by Dominik Greif in a defeat to Lyon.
The title is still in play. Lens aren’t giving up.
PSG's only January signing was 18-year-old midfielder Dro Fernández from Barcelona. Marquinhos said: "The title is still in play. " He added: "This is a tough league but we haven't had a challenger like this in other years.
Lens are really having a great season. It's good for us. It keeps us working hard and focused until the end of the season.
This is a tough league but we haven’t had a challenger like this in other years. Lens are really having a great season. It’s good for us. It keeps us working hard and focused until the end of the season. We don’t have time to dwell. We’ll be playing every three days.
We don't have time to dwell. " Luis Enrique praised Kvaratskhelia: "He's a high-quality player. " Kvaratskhelia, who has 16 goals this season, said: "Every game is important now.
He must have thought we were playing in the Champions League.
He’s a high-quality player. You can see it in his technical ability but also in his character during matches.
