With a 5-0 victory over Ajaccio, Paris Saint-Germain moved closer to winning the Ligue 1 championship while sending the visitors to the bottom of the standings. Lionel Messi was booed by the home crowd upon his return to the field.
Mbappe (47'), Hakimi (33'), Mbappe (54'), and Youssouf (73' OG) are the players to watch.
Mangani (80') and Hakimi (77')
At the break, PSG had a commanding lead thanks to goals from Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi. At Parc des Princes, Kylian Mbappe joined the celebration with a second-half hat trick. After an altercation in which Hakimi and Ajaccio midfielder Thomas Mangani were involved, Mohamed Youssouf's own goal made things worse for the visitors.
The victory, which extends PSG's lead over the competition to six points, was marred by the jeers directed at Messi, who had been reinstated to Christophe Galtier's squad after serving a suspension for traveling to Saudi Arabia without authorization. Having only three games
With only a victory at Auxerre on Sunday, May 21, PSG would almost certainly win consecutive championships.
Ruiz raced onto Danilo's through pass in the 21st minute and hoisted it over Francois-Joseph Sollacaro to give PSG the lead. PSG had dropped three of their previous four games at Parc des Princes, but this time they were in control from the opening whistle.
After the Ajaccio goalie parried Kylian Mbappe's shot into his path, Hakimi made it two with the easiest of finishes. Following a rumored handball by Mbappe, the referee confirmed the goal stood after reviewing it on the pitchside monitor.
Just two minutes after the interval, Mbappe joined the fun by sweeping home from close range following a scuffle inside the Ajaccio penalty area. His second goal, which he volleyed past the defenseless Sollacaro, was anything but scrappy if the first was.
Youssouf accidentally turned Marquinhos' cross into his own net to make it 5-0 before Hakimi and Mangani were dismissed for their roles in a brawl involving players from both teams. PSG was now slicing open its opponents at whim.
