Liga Prancis: Tundukkan Lens, PSG Duduki Puncak Klasemen Liga Prancis: Tundukkan Lens, PSG Duduki Puncak Klasemen Realitarakyat.com – Paris Saint-Germain merebut puncak klasemen sementara Liga Prancis setelah menundukkan RC Lens 2-1 dalam laga pekan ke-35 di Stadion Parc des Princes, Paris, Sabtu (1/5/2021). Dua gol dari Neymar dan Marquinhos yang hanya bisa dibalas sekali oleh Lens melalui Ignatius Ganago, membuat PSG kini menduduki puncak klasemen dengan koleksi 75 poin. Namun posisi PSG belum aman karena pemuncak klasemen sebelumnya Lille (73) baru akan bertanding kemudian. Bagi Lens (56), kekalahan itu membuat mereka terancam melorot dari posisi kelima seandainya Rennes (54) menang dalam pertandingan esok, demikian laman resmi Liga Prancis. Absennya Kylian Mbappe yang dibekap cedera sedikit mengurangi agresivitas anak-anak asuh Mauricio Pochettino, tetapi mereka membuka keunggulan pada menit ke-33 lewat gol Neymar. Berawal dari kecerobohan Facundo Medina yang kehilangan bola dalam areanya sendiri, Julian Draxler mengirim umpan cepat yang mampu dikejar Neymar untuk kemudian menaklukkan kiper Wuilker Farinez. Keunggulan itu hampir digandakan enam menit kemudian ketika umpan sundulan Neymar disambut dengan sepakan keras Pablo Sarabia, tetapi kali ini Farinez sigap menepis bola keluar dari lapangan. Di ujung lapangan berbeda, Arnaud Kalimuendo merangsek ke dalam kotak penalti PSG, namun sayang tembakannya dihalau kiper Keylor Navas dengan menggunakan kakinya dan bola muntah yang disambar Jonathan Clauss melambung dari sasaran. Pada menit ke-59, Marquinhos memanfaatkan umpan sepak pojok Neymar dan menanduknya ke dalam gawang Lens guna menggandakan keunggulan tuan rumah. Gol itu dijawab secara instan dua menit berselang oleh Lens saat Ganago berada pada posisi tepat untuk menyambar bola muntah hasil tembakan Kalimuendo untuk memperkecil ketertinggalan tim tamu menjadi 1-2. PSG berkesempatan merestorasi keunggulan dua golnya pada menit ke-68 lewat eksekusi tendangan bebas apik dari Neymar yang sudah melewati pagar hidup, tetapi Farinez menghalaunya dengan penyelamatan gemilang. Pada menit ke-83, Mauro Icardi meneruskan umpan silang Marco Verratti ke dalam gawang Lens, tetapi gol itu dianulir oleh wasit Jerome Brisard karena offside yang dikonfirmasi VAR. Kendati demikian skor 2-1 bertahan hingga bubaran untuk memastikan PSG mengantungi tiga poin penuh. PSG selanjutnya akan mengalihkan perhatian mereka untuk membalikkan ketertinggalan agregat 1-2 dari Manchester City saat melakoni leg kedua semifinal Liga Champions di Etihad, Manchester, Inggris, Selasa pekan depan, sebelum melawat ke markas Rennes lima hari berselang. Sedangkan Lens akan menjamu Lille di Felix Bollaert-Delelis Jumat pekan depan. (ndi).

The two were set for a title clash two weeks back before the Japanese with- drew due to injury but the former world number ones will have another chance to establish supremacy today.

  • Ligue 1 Guide 2021/22
    2021/2022 Ligue 1 Preview Guide INTRODUCTION After a historically close title race that saw four teams in the running Ligue 1 is back with no small amount of fanfare following a busy summer. Of those four sides, while Lille and Lyon have been relatively quiet as they try to consolidate under new managers, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain have been eager participants in the mercato, buying well in a way that addresses the two sides’ needs. Nice and Rennes have also done some canny business in the offseason, to say nothing of Marseille’s flood of arrivals, but the discussions about pro- spective title favorites in France have to start and end with the capital side. Even as rumors swirl around the potential departure of Kylian Mbappé, it’s hard to argue that Paris Saint-Ger- main haven’t done their utmost to convince their young star to stay. At least, that is, if one judges by their transfer activity. The arrivals of Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Achraf Hakimi have bolstered Mauricio Pochettino’s side in key areas whilst also adding another layer of dynamism. If he can keep his squad happy and balanced, this team looks as potent as any in Europe, Elsewhere, Monaco are probably best-equipped to challenge, even as they will have to contend with playing European football. The arrivals of Myron Boadu, Alexander Nübel and Ismail Jakobs look to be upgrades, and so long as Niko Kovac’s exciting, front-foot football remains in place and so do all of its key elements.

    GET FRENCH FOOTBALL NEWS 2020/2021 Ligue 1 Preview Guide Rarely has French football been simultaneously seemingly on the verge of a breakthrough moment in Europe, with the Champions’ League achievements of Lyon and Paris Saint-Ger- main not yet brought to their conclusion as I write this, or so seemingly vulnerable. For all of the achievements that teams like Lille or Lyon have had in recent years, French clubs still re- main prey for those with deeper pockets, and success only makes their most talented players that much more attractive - the unsettled nature of things at both the Stade Pierre Mauroy and Groupama Stadium are testament to that. Still, though, there is much to celebrate as a new season of Ligue 1 dawns - yes, Paris Saint-Ger- main look likely to stroll to the title again, but Marseille and their boisterous supporters will relish being back in Europe’s elite competition after finishing second. There is joy, too, at Rennes, where the Breton side have continued their steady improvement under Julien Stéphan and been rewarded with a place in the Champions’ League. For all of their acheivements last campaign, though, both of those teams may struggle, as Lille did last season, to negotiate playing in Eu- rope. Both have made important additons this summer, though, in the form of the influential Álva- ro González making his loan move permanent for Marseille and Rennes making a canny move in plucking Martin Terrier from Lyon to bolster their attack. Among their competitors, however, Lille have been the big spenders, splashing out €30m on the Canadian attacker Jonathan Da- vid, his success in the Belgian league hopefully boding well for him as he hopes to succeed the departed Victor Osimhen.

In a year when many may have endured heartbreak, loss, dejection, and grief in very real terms, putting what has happened on the football pitch in stark relief to the world around us. It is true, of course, that what we should be prioritising in a difficult time is our mental and physical health, as well as that of those around us, rather than football. But even if there are more important things in life (and there are), we should also acknowledge the positive role that sport can play in our lives. Even if virtually, fandom brings us together, connecting us with a global network of supporters, each of us as eager as the last to debate the merits of Memphis Depay, agonise over Dimitri Payet’s inconsis- tent form, or get into a lather over how Kylian Mbappé — isn’t — top of this list. To that end, we welcome debate and conjecture over these players rankings and inclusions, albeit with the caveat that with such a small sample size (most French-based teams played just 26 League Apps 2020), there is necessar- ily more variance, and a good (or poor) run of form stretching a half dozen matches or so can have an outsize effect on a player’s placement. Still, though, this was once again an enjoyable exercise in what was an historic year for French football, given the success of Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions’ League.
