The match started at a frenetic pace, with both teams eager to make an early statement. PSG dominated possession and created several chances, but it was Marseille who threatened first when Luis Henrique broke through the defense only to be denied by Gianluigi Donnarumma. However, PSG’s dominance soon paid off. Mbappe opened the scoring in the 25th minute with a clinical finish from inside the box after being set up by Neymar Jr. The second goal came just minutes later as Mbappe latched onto Lionel Messi’s pass and slotted it home with aplomb. Marseille struggled to contain the rampaging PSG attack, and Mbappe completed his hat-trick in the 55th minute. This time, Sergio Ramos played the provider with a superb long ball, and Mbappe calmly chipped the ball over Pau Lopez to seal the victory. The victory extends PSG’s lead at the top of Ligue 1 to eight points, while Marseille remains behind in second place. Mbappe’s hat-trick was his first in the Classique since arriving at the club in 2017, and it underlined his status as one of the most lethal forwards in world football. Neymar Jr. and Lionel Messi also played pivotal roles in the win, providing assists for Mbappe’s goals. Messi was particularly impressive, showcasing his exceptional vision and passing ability. Marseille’s performance was disappointing, as they failed to match the intensity and quality of their rivals. Igor Tudor’s side created few clear-cut chances and looked vulnerable at the back throughout the match. The Classique victory is a major boost for PSG as they head into the second half of the season. They will be confident of securing their eighth Ligue 1 title in a row, while Marseille will need to regroup and find a way to bridge the gap at the top of the table.
