No offense to lovers of suspense enticed by the success of OM against Saint-Étienne (4-2) a little earlier in the day, the clasico scheduled in two weeks will not be decisive for the title.
Twelve points ahead of its runner-up thanks to its success this Sunday evening, against Lorient (5-1) – before the day of next weekend – Paris resumed its road to its tenth title of champion of France.
After the sinking in Monaco (3-0) in the wake of elimination against Real Madrid, Mauricio Pochettino's team recovered their heads.
This was not the case with the Virage Auteuil banner displayed upside down as the symbol of a still angry CUP (Collectif Ultras Paris).
The supporters had promised silence as an expression of their general dissatisfaction.
They kept their word until Kylian Mbappé produced a complete masterpiece: two goals, three assists and lifted the Park.

While Neymar had seen his name whistled during the composition of the teams, less than that of Pochettino, the Brazilian, like Messi, had then been spared during his touches of the balls.
The psychodrama of the match against Bordeaux, three weeks ago, where the two artists had been jeered at each touch of the ball was forgotten.
As a symbol, Neymar showed the way this evening by quickly scoring the first goal perfectly served by Mbappé (1-0, 12th).
While the CUP conveyed its messages through a succession of banners – “Shame on our players, glory to our colors”, “Warriors in Paris” – Kylian Mbappé continued his already immense works.
The Park sings "Kylian, Kylian"
His new goal led to an "oh" of admiration from the public before the demonstrations of joy (2-0, 28th).
And it was… from the Junior Club, the space reserved for children, that the “Kylian, Kylian!
» taken up by the entire Park.
But in these fragile times, Paris had to end up being scared.
Less influential after the exit of injured Paredes (41st), the Parisians were at fault.
A back pass from Hakimi badly negotiated by Marquinhos allowed Moffi to thrill and get up the Lorient supporters (2-1, 56th).
Once again, Mbappé was going to take care of everything.
A strike for his double (3-1, 67th) and a new decisive pass, for Messi (4-1, 73rd) allowed the Park to ignite again.
In the middle of this successful evening, the last two notes came from Pochettino's substitutions.
The Argentinian indeed preferred to bring in Ramos then Kehrer rather than Simons or Michut.
This time, it was Ramos who collected the bronca with each touch of the ball.
But when Kimpembe advanced towards Auteuil with Gueye, they were applauded.
As if a sweet scent of July floated in the Park, Paris warmed the hearts of its supporters and avoided the cold snap.
