There were too many setbacks for PSG this season: elimination from the Champions League by Real, defeats from Nantes, Nice, and Monaco and it seems that the Parisian can only win comfortably when they are playing against relegation strugglers. After a 3-0 win over Bordeaux, PSG defeated another team who is struggling to stay in Ligue 1: PSG – Lorient 5-1.3 – Kylian Mbappé, Neymar and Lionel Messi all scored in the same match for Paris for the very first time in all competitions. Finally. #PSGFCL pic.twitter.com/6Pxb7G5bh3— OptaJean (@OptaJean) April 3, 2022 It was a night for Kylian Mbappe who scored two goals and added three assists, and Neymar was right there with a brace of his own. Leo Messi added himself to the scoreboard as the guest never stood a chance. Looking at the teams which either lost to Lorient (Nice, Lille), or drew with them (Monaco, Rennes, PSG), it was expected that relegation strugglers will maybe sneak an early goal or somehow surprise the favorites, but it was not to be. It’s definitely not the same team which was just minutes away from the sensational win against the Parisian in the 19th Round of Ligue 1, when Icardi saved the guests in injury time.If you boo Messi, then who’re going to applaud? Ronaldinho slates disgruntled PSG supportersAt the Parc des Princes, the hosts took the lead in the 12th minute, after a three pass action: Verratti, Mbappe, Neymar. 16 minutes later it was already 2-0, and this time it was Mbappe who scored, after an assist from Gueye. The visitors had no shots on target in the first 45 minutes. In fact, they haven’t went into the penalty area once.At the beginning of the second half, they finally tried something and out of the courage, came the first goal. Truth to be told, it was a combined mistake of Hakimi and Marquinhos, but Moffi was well placed and came up with the goal, just to make the home crowd a bit uneasy. But Mbappe was there (again) to relieve the home crowd with his second goal of the night in the 67th minute, and then assisted to Leo Messi, who added the fourth one. Lorient used another Hakimi mistake in defense, but it was Gigi Donnarumma who made a great stop and prevent another goal for the visitors. Nemyar completed the final score after another assist from Mbappe just before the end of the game.LIGUE 1 – ROUND 30 Saturday Nice – Rennes 1-1 (0-0)/Delort 67- Terrier 78/LOSC Lille – Girondins de Bordeaux 0-0Sunday Strasbourg – Lens 1-0 (0-0)/Ajorque 67 pen/Saint-Etienne – Olympique de Marseille x-x (1-1)/Bouanga 9 – Payet 45+1/Metz – Monaco x-x (0-0)Montpellier – Brest x-x (0-0)Clermont – Nantes x-x (0-1)/Blas 43 pen/Troyes – Reims x-x (0-0)Olympique Lyon – Angers 3-2PSG – Lorient 5-1
