Thanks to outstanding performances from оffensive duo Ousmane Dembele and Kylian Mbappe, who tore the home team apart with some sparkling forward play and scored a brace each, PSG are all but Ligue 1 champions after an overwhelming 3-1 victory away at Lorient. The outcome put PSG 11 points ahead of Monaco, who postponed the inevitable by defeating Lille later on Wednesday.
When Paris Saint-Germain faced Lorient in Ligue 1, Kylian Mbappe unleashed a “monstrous” sliding tackle, revealing his inner defender.
The French captain, who is mostly known for his ability to score goals, showed off his defensive skills as PSG looked to win the league with four games left.

The 25-year-old demonstrated why he should have been included by adding to his stellar goal total in Ligue 1, scoring his 25th goal of the year in a typical manner.
After Ousmane Dembele’s first goal, Mbappe finished clinically to increase PSG’s lead after receiving a feed from Nuno Mendes.
