The former striker savored the return of PSG to the top of Ligue 1 on Sunday evening. He nevertheless remains cautious in view of the end of the match.


Is a new leadership position sufficient for the happiness of Mickaël Madar?

The former Parisian striker hesitates.

PSG won this Sunday evening on the lawn of Olympique Lyonnais (2-4).

This victory allows the club of the capital to pass in front of Lille but the end of the match and the reduction of the gap of Gones annoy the one who is now a consultant on Canal +

What do we remember at the end of this match?

The first hour in total control or this end of the match which spoils the show of force?

MICKAËL MADAR.

Both, unfortunately.

The Parisians did until the 60th what we like to see at home.

They put a lot of intensity, aggressiveness, pressing, counter-pressing, quick transitions to the front.

Then again, I'm not a fan when they are in management.

I prefer when PSG do not calculate and want to hurt the opponent and recover as high as possible.

Navas pulls out another parade on his line ten minutes from the end ...

Yes, a third goal then, and you don't know where you are anymore.

Parisians, when they retreat, they expose themselves too quickly.

Paris takes the lead in Ligue 1 at Losc thanks to a better goal average.

This Sunday morning, this scenario was difficult to predict.

It is a huge combination of circumstances.

The Parisians could have taken advantage of it last week, but they lost at home against Nantes.

In the end, they would have three points ahead and it would be almost folded.

It's a shame not to have seized this chance last week.

Now, you have to win the home match against Lille

(Editor's note: Saturday April 3)

, and you will have done the hard part.

It was not easy to imagine this given the irregularity of PSG since the start of the season.

But hey, that's no surprise either.

Finishing champion remains completely logical with such a workforce.

Between the defeat of Lille a little earlier at home against Nîmes (1-2), penultimate in Ligue 1, and the average level posted by Lyon, what surprised you the most?

The defeat of Lille.

Especially since it is not undeserved.

I felt like I was seeing Paris in its bad days.

Everything that Paris had on Sunday evening, Lille did not have during the afternoon.

This intensity, this aggressiveness… We saw clearly with the victory of Nantes last weekend at the Parc that even the favorites for the title can fall in front of the relegated teams.

But from Lille, who have been very consistent so far, it's surprising.

"Is the step too high?"

“Asked Lille coach Christophe Galtier about his players.

Do you think Lille still have a chance to beat PSG in two weeks?

Of course, Nantes did it, others did.

But the thing is, Lille, Lyon and Monaco are no longer used to being first or playing for the title a few days from the end.

At this time of the season, some teams are playing maintenance, others the European Cup, suddenly all the matches are complicated.

You have to be strong in your head.

This is perhaps one of the reasons why Lille may not be able to stand the pressure.
