As part of the 16th day of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain travelled to face AS Monaco and won 2-4. After the match, 27-year-old Parisian striker Ousmane Dembélé, who scored twice on Wednesday, spoke to PSG TV.
Dembélé “We’re all happy, especially as we’ve temporarily taken a ten-point lead”.
“It was a bit of a spectacular game, I think. We weren’t focused when we came back in the second half. We got two goals but we were able to react. We stayed in the game and came away with the win. We’re all happy, especially as we’re now ten points clear of second place.
My goals? It’s going in, it’s good, we’ve got to keep going. I’m trying my luck and it’s smiling at me, so I’m going to try to keep going and score so that the team can win again.”
For PSG, it was important but not crucial to win this match against AS Monaco. After an intense match, Luis Enrique’s men were able to win away from home and confirm a little more their rise to prominence in recent games.
Now ten points clear, the capital club can look forward to the short international break with confidence and, above all, prepare for the second half of the season with equanimity. The most important match of all, of course, will be the Champions League clash with Manchester City on January 22.
But in the meantime, while the team is rumoured to be in decline following the departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid, it is clear that mid-season suspense is already extinguished in the league thanks to their outrageous domination of both direct and indirect rivals.
