PSG was expected for the Classico, with an OM that had posed problems earlier in the season and some recent mixed performances. The response is clear, the Parisians are gaining physical strength and the rest has helped them regain superiority. As well as the first place in Ligue 1.

Lens could indeed watch the Classico with some peace of mind following their 3-1 victory, deserved after a great fight playing with 10 men from the 56th minute (Rubin Aguilar, 2 minutes after his goal for 2-0). Enough to confirm the excellent form of Lens, while pushing Rennes towards a new crisis. Even though the race for Europe is still very much alive.

This despite the new victory of Olympique Lyonnais, without shining and receiving a red card (Endrick in the 61st minute) against Nantes (15 shots to 7 in favor of Nantes, 50% possession). But the 3 points are there and can only be beneficial for this team on a roll. Lille is also consistent, except it's on the side of poor results. This time, with a very frustrating draw at Metz (16 shots to 3). At least, Lille has stopped conceding goals. But they still struggle to score at the moment. For Metz, it's still a point gained in the battle for survival, against a very tough opponent.

On the side of Nice and Monaco, it's also at least 1 point gained. It's better than a loss, obviously, but far from enough to celebrate after a rather balanced match. Nice remains too close to relegation and Monaco misses an opportunity to gain places towards Europe.

Indeed, Strasbourg faltered at Le Havre, notably taking a red card as early as the 29th minute when it was already 1-0. Strasbourg still posed problems, but Le Havre took advantage to breathe a little. Toulouse, on the other hand, once again missed the opportunity to confirm their ability to join the Europeans. Their defeat even allows Angers to join the list of clubs on the lookout.

Behind them, Lorient's fine series was stopped in a Breton derby that swung in favor of Brest after a rather lively and balanced match (13 shots to 11 and 58% possession in favor of Lorient). For Brest, it's a way to gain some serenity in view of survival, although they shouldn't relax.

Finally, Paris FC avoided letting Auxerre catch up, even though the goal was, of course, victory. The frustration is more on Auxerre's side, as too often this season, with 13 shots to 6 in favor of AJA.
