• France.This is the classification

Mauricio Pochettino's

PSG

passed the Marseille exam with ease.

A test especially due to the climate of violence that hangs over an OM in institutional and sports crisis.

Even emotional with their fans.

On the grass, there was no color.

The distance between the richest club in France and its rival in the south is unbridgeable.

Although that does not serve him, at the moment the formation of the Sheikh of Qatar more than to tailgating Lille and Lyon in the classification.

This week, and before traveling to the Camp Nou, two minor duels against a Segunda, Caen, in the Cup, and Nice, a team from the bottom of the table, in the League await Barça's rival.

For this reason, the eleven that the Argentine had on Sunday night will be very similar to that of the Champions League.

With two notable exceptions.

Neymar

started on the bench after missing training the day before due to gastroenteritis ... that occurred after celebrating his 29th birthday.

At home and with several teammates and their partners, do not think of a party of yesteryear.

He started in 66 and in his first race he fell in the area after a contact with

Álvaro

that the VAR left without punishment.

The Spaniard was injured but held out on the field for a few minutes, long enough to intercept a ball destined for the Brazilian in the mouth of the goal.

Under sticks,

Rico

replaced

Keylor Navas

, injured in the abductors.

The Spanish acted with solvency.

He showed reflexes by repelling a rocket that

Gueye fired

at

him

in the first half.

In the second half, he had some trouble but left his door to zero.

Di María's assistance and injury

Those from the capital dominated the game and on the scoreboard very early because

Mbappé

overtook the Parisians on the first occasion.

The 8th minute was played, OM turned into the rival area in its first corner.

The clearance became a brilliant counterattack led by

Di María

.

This put the ball in the path of the top scorer in the French league, which he transformed from a whiplash after a sprint in which he was timed at 35 km / h by Canal +.

In the play the Argentine was injured and was replaced by

Sarabia

.

Icardi

made the second finishing with a header, his back to the local goal despite Álvaro's hug before the first tangana, resolved by the referee without cards.

Sparks flew a couple more times until

Paredes

earned a yellow for protesting everything.

What a contrast to the first leg (0-1), the one with the fights, the spittle and the expulsions!

The Marseille crisis

El

Clasico

, like this in Spanish but without an accent, is written by the French media, arrived at the worst moment of OM.

Eight days ago, fans pissed off with the team's departure stormed the training center.

The police arrested 14 assailants and this week searched the headquarters of two groups of ultras.

President

Jacques Henri Eyraud

, a Parisian post by American property (Franck McCourt), is threatened by radicals.

Le Parisien

mentions a possible sale of the club to Saudi prince

Al Walid ben Talal

... and the mayor of Marseille wants to sell the Velodrome.

With these precedents and although the game was played without an audience, there was a deployment of 400 policemen.

And the buses of PSG and the local team!

they arrived at the stadium under escort.

In the purely sports, things are not going well either.

André Villas Boas

gave the scared of the bench, complaining about the lack of reinforcements.

Leave the team in the middle of the table, and out of Europe after a string of defeats.

On the bench sat the director of the training center,

Nasser Larguet

, who at 62 this week has directed his first two games to a professional team.

It was the

Centennial

Classic

, an opportunity to measure the distance between the two clubs: PSG has won 45, OM 33 and there have been 22 draws.

Olympique have not managed to beat the Parisians at their Velodrome since 2011. PSG prevailed with authority, without a doubt.

But to a dying team.
