Paris Saint-Germain and Lorient will battle for three points in a Ligue 1 matchday 32 fixture on Saturday (May 2nd). The game will be played at the Parc des Princes.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a nine-goal thriller at home to Bayern Munich in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal tie. A see-saw game saw them take a 3-2 lead into the break, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Joao Neves, and Ousmane Dembele scoring a goal each, while Harry Kane and Michael Olise scored for the Bavarians.
Thanks for the submission!
Kvaratskhelia and Dembele completed their braces to put the Parisians 5-2 up just before the hour mark. But Dayot Upamecano and Luis Diaz scored to make it 5-4 in the highest-scoring UEFA Champions League semifinal game in history.
PSG will shift their focus to the domestic scene, where their last game saw them claim a 3-0 away win over Angers.
Lorient, meanwhile, let a two-goal lead slip in a 3-2 defeat at home to Strasbourg. Noah Cadiou’s 26th-minute strike put them ahead at the break while Pablo Pagis doubled their lead from the spot in the 54th minute. Sebastian Nanasi halved the deficit just past the hour mark. Nathaniel Adjei’s own goal in injury time drew the game level. Andrew Omobamidele scored the match-winner in the ninth minute of injury time.
The loss left Les Merlus in ninth spot in the standings, having garnered 41 points from 31 games. PSG lead the way at the summit with 69 points to their name.
