Small walk of the weekend for the PSG in its Parc des Princes. The Parisians imposed themselves very easily against Montpellier (5-0) in a borderline spring atmosphere. Eliminated in the Coupe de France a few days ago, and quickly reduced to ten, the visitors were only able to worry Thomas Tuchel by targeting Neymar's ankles, once again very fit. Paris continues its walk at the head of the championship while waiting for OM to move to Bordeaux on Sunday evening.

Neymar, roomer at the top of his game

"We'll see how he looks at me Neymar, after you know, I'm not afraid of anyone," said Andy Delort before the match. It would have been better to be afraid of the Brazilian on Saturday, because the itinerant cotton candy was still on fire on Saturday. A lambretta here, a leg pass there, caviar for his partners ... To annoy once again his opponents, who have not dried up shots in the ankles. This is clearly the best version of Neymar who is playing football right now. Promising a few weeks from Dortmund. If it remains in one piece by then. The Park trembled just before the break when the crack remained on the ground for several minutes, hit on the back after a duel with Souquet, before breathing when he saw him return all smiles after the break.

MHSC quickly reduced to ten, serious Paris to the end

Beyond Neymar, the whole team has completed a successful service. Sarabia quickly allowed the Parisians to take the lead with a superb wrapped shot (8th) before the MHSC shot himself in the foot. On a deep ball bound for Mbappé who takes all his defense failing, Dimitry Bertaud comes out of his surface, touches the ball with his hand and leaves his own in a huge galley outnumbered. The rest is history. Di Maria, Mbappé, Kurzawa, the neighbor on the 3rd floor, everyone goes there with their goal, except Neymar. A thought for Delort and Keylor Navas, two and a half balls touched between them throughout the match.

New cleaning scene between Mbappé and Tuchel

It is starting to become a dirty habit. Each time the German coach leaves his young striker prematurely, he groans like a little kid in the midst of a teenage crisis. The two men had an explanation for a good minute, hand in front of the mouth, when Mbappé was replaced by Edinson Cavani (68th). Tuchel seems to have tried to justify himself, in vain, Kyky sped straight to the substitutes' bench, even refusing the down jacket that was gently extended to him. Not nice, that.

The Park paid tribute to Kobe Bryant

We ignore the capillary tribute of Neymar to Nick Kyrgios to focus on that of the Brazilian to Kobe Bryant, who died last Sunday in a helicopter crash. The star of PSG appeared on the lawn of the Park, reverse jersey flocked with the number 24 of the Black Mamba. A little later, before kick-off, it was up to the Paris club to pay tribute to the former Lakers player, who had made a remarkable appearance at the Camp des Loges in 2017. A video of his exploits was broadcast on the stadium screens to the applause of the public and the players.
