Ligue 1: the odd Lille, the ruthless PSG with Lyon
At the end of the 30th day of Ligue 1, the tasty poster between PSG and OL on Sunday March 21 gave birth to a one-sided match.
The Parisians tamed Lyon (2-4) with in particular a double from Kylian Mbappé who now has 100 goals in the French championship.

This victory therefore allows PSG to take the lead in Ligue 1 in the face and beard of Lille.
The Northerners were surprised at home by the Nîmes (1-2) and therefore let slip the first place they had occupied since the end of January.
The cards are therefore reshuffled before the PSG-Losc poster which will take place on April 3, after the international break.
Behind, AS Monaco (4th) made a demonstration Friday in Saint-Étienne (0-4) and therefore returned OL and precious third place, the last giving access to the Champions League.
The suspense also remains in the race for Europe: unbeaten since the end of January in L1, Lens won in Strasbourg (1-2) a crucial victory in the quest for 5th place.
So here are the Lensois (5th, 48 pts) who point three lengths in front of Marseille, corrected 3-0 on Saturday in Nice, and four in front of Rennes, victorious 3-1 in Metz, and Montpellier, 3 to 1 striker of Bordeaux.
England: cup weekend
Manchester City are still in the running for a historic quadruple.
Despite a great resistance from Everton, the Citizens ended up winning at Goodison Park 2-0 on Saturday to qualify for the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
They will face Chelsea, winner of the red lantern of the Premiere League (2-0), Sheffield United, despite a reshaped team compared to that which triumphed in the Champions League.
Leicester, meanwhile, dominated a lackluster Manchester United (3-1) to reach the semi-finals, a stage the competition he had not reached since 1982. Leicester will face Southampton, who qualified by beating Bournemouth (3-0), Championship club.

With a new double, Karim Benzema offered the victory to Real Madrid on the ground of Celta Vigo (1-3).
Real Madrid remain in third place, two points behind Barça.
Serie A: Juventus relapses at home, AC Milan clings
Did Juventus say goodbye to a 10th consecutive title on Sunday?
It's possible.
His loss at home to the poorly classified Benevento (0-1) pushed him 10 points behind the leader of Inter Milan.
Exempt this weekend due to multiple cases of Covid-19, Inter must now be more wary of AC Milan, returned to six points (with one more game) after their victory snatched against Fiorentina (3- 2).

Atalanta Bergamo rebounded well after its elimination in the Champions League against Real Madrid by winning Sunday at Hellas Verona (2-0) to consolidate its position in the Top 4 of Serie A. Naples (5th) , a week after his victory in Milan (1-0), managed another nice shot, this time at the Olimpico against Roma (2-0).
Roma (6th) lost ground on the Top 4 and even saw Lazio (7th), victorious over Udinese (1-0).
Bayern Munich: the Lewandosky machine
PSG can tremble.
Future opponents of the Parisians in the Champions League, Bayern Munich crushed Stuttgart despite a red card in the 12th minute.
Thirty minutes, a hat-trick from Lewandosky and a goal from Serge Gnabry later, the "Rekordmeister" secured the victory.
This victory was important for Bayern, since it allows them to approach with four points in advance the shock at the top in Leipzig of the next day (April 3).
