Despite the clear and clean victory and a record title at hand, the atmosphere was without fervor at the Parc des Princes and in the Auteuil stand, deserted by the ultras on strike and in conflict with the management of the club.

Some fans, however, were heard throughout the match to whistle Leo Messi, back from suspension because of his trip to Saudi Arabia not validated by the club.

After having already received some at the time of the announcement of the composition of the team, the Argentine, quite discreet in the game, was targeted by a concert of whistles when he touched each ball and on his kicks stopped. Much of the Parc des Princes also responded with applause.

"So there are whistles but very quickly a large part of the stadium made sure to cover the whistles to encourage Leo. He remained focused with the desire to animate the game and create situations, "commented the Parisian coach in a press conference.

The fans were however able to attend a rain of goals of the Parisians, become rare, against Corsicans non-existent, overwhelmed and now relegated after a year in Ligue 1.

The festival began with a breakthrough in the box by Fabian Ruiz, who scored from close range from outside the left (21st).

The foot on the ball, the Parisians made the break thanks to Achraf Hakimi, inside for several meetings but who found his legs Saturday. The Moroccan recovered the ball and concluded easily after a beautiful parry of Sollacaro on a strike of Mbappé (33rd).

The dominance in the game and the score did not prevent Christophe Galtier's men from continuing to roll in the second half.

While the Parisians have become accustomed to playing intermittently or purring too often, they continued to press on the return of the locker room, in front of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, present in the stands.

"On an offensive level, it was quite interesting, the players enjoyed playing together and pleasing our supporters," said the Paris coach.

On a fumble in the Ajaccian defense, Kylian Mbappé tripled the bet, thanks to a low strike, which went under the gloves of the Corsican goalkeeper (47th).

The French striker, again at the top of the top scorers in L1 with 26 goals ahead of Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette (24 goals) continued the festival: on an opening by Sergio Ramos, the ball came back to Mbappé who took it back. The N.7 has scored at least one goal in PSG's last five matches (Lens, Angers, Lorient, Troyes and Ajaccio).

Captain Marquinhos finished the job after an action where Mbappe attempted a scarf. The center of the Brazilian was countered by Youssouf, before finishing in the Corsican goal (73rd).

The end of the match was marred by a slight moment of tension and Ashraf Hakimi and Thomas Mangani, who jostled violently, each took a red card.

Thanks to this victory and with a six-point lead over the runner-up Lens, PSG can now be champions of France at Auxerre, and finish on a good note this interminable season and marred by disappointing results, a lackluster game and repeated extra-sporting affairs.
