PSG won at the Parc des Princes and managed to extend their lead to nine points over Lens. Lionel Messi shone for the second game in a row and the ultras' blunders were not loudly heard. Despite the performance of the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7), Christophe Galtier, coach of the Parisians, reprimanded the 'Flea' and his teammates and surprised everyone.

The current Ligue 1 champion took advantage of the fact that Lens was left with one less from very early in the game and scored three goals in the first half to settle the commitment in his favor. However, the attitude of the Parisians changed in the complementary stage and they gave up a goal. In addition, they suffered more than one scare that could have been catastrophic.

In this context, Galtier referred to the performance of Lionel Messi and his company. The coach, who is on the tightrope due to the series of poor results, commented: “I am happy for the victory, we took advantage of the numerical advantage in the first half and scored the goals. It wasn't like that in the second part and we gave them some hope”.

Who can come for Christophe Galtier at the end of this season?

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of PSG, is wasting no time and is already thinking about the new coach. Despite the fact that Galtier has not been in office for even a year, the elimination of the French Cup and the Champions League hastened his farewell. Now, coaches like José Mourinho, Zinedine Zidane, Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique sound like the options to reach the Parisian bench.
