“This win was really important for us. We need points and we’re fighting for the Champions League. It wasn’t perfect today, but we’re happy with the three points,” Schick told DAZN . PSG edge closer to Ligue 1 crown PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN took another stride towards the Ligue 1 crown yesterday, beating Angers 3-0 to open up a six-point advantage over Lens at the top of the table. Lee Kang-in and Senny Mayulu struck first half goals in Angers, with Lucas Beraldo bagging a third shortly after halftime to keep PSG on course for a 12th French title in 14 years. It was a largely ideal afternoon for PSG ahead of Tuesday’s (Wed 3am) Champions League

Bayern introduced Harry Kane and Michael Olise for the second half and then also brought on Jamal Musiala, turning the match on its head. Nicolas Jackson ignited the comeback before Olise and Musiala struck to bring Bayern level. Kane’s 33rd league goal of the season with seven minutes to go won it for the visitors. “What went wrong in the first half? Everything. But in the second half, we accepted the fight,” Kompany told reporters. “We’re already champions and you could imagine the team being OK with a 3-0, 3-1 defeat, but that wasn’t the case. We celebrated like we saved ourselves from relegation.” Elsewhere, Patrik Schick bagged a brace as Leverkusen downed derby rivals Cologne 2-1 away to keep their top-four hopes alive.

semifinal first leg at home to Bayern Munich, although they face an anxious wait over the fitness of defender Achraf Hakimi after he appeared to be struggling physically and came off at halftime. Coach Luis Enrique rested his attacking trio of Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue – all of whom started Wednesday’s 3 0 win over Nantes. PSG though finished with 10 men as Goncalo Ramos saw red after receiving a second yellow card. “We got the job done well,” said Luis Enrique. “These are the kinds of matches than can be tricky, but we showed that we were ready. When you get a result like this, it’s the best way to prepare for the Champions League semifinal.” Lyon held off lowly Auxerre 3-2 in earlier in the day to keep their Champions League next season ambitions on track. With three games left for them this season, Lyon moved to within six points of Lens, who drew 3-3 at Brest on Friday, and an unlikely top-two finish.

Later on Atletico Madrid edged Athletic Bilbao 3-2 to build confidence before their Champions League semifinal battle with Arsenal. Defending Spanish champions Barca moved 11 points clear of second place Real Madrid, who drew at Real Betis on Saturday to dent their hopes of finishing the season with a trophy. Hansi Flick’s side can win their second consecutive Spanish title if they overcome Osasuna this weekend and Real Madrid fail to beat Espanyol. “It’s not done, we have five more games and we’re only focused on the next one,” Flick told reporters. “We will celebrate when it’s time, but not now.” Barcelona were without vital injured

They made the breakthrough just before halftime when Pedri played in Lopez, who slotted home. The midfielder imitated Yamal’s usual “304” celebration in tribute to the injured teenage star. “The truth is he’s really important for us, it’s a shame that he can’t play any more, but the important thing is that he recovers well and is ready for the World Cup,” added Lopez. With Getafe needing to come out of their shell to find an equaliser, Barca had more opportunities after the break. Martin Satriano threatened for the hosts before Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, secured Barcelona’s triumph. Robert Lewandowski sent the England international charging through on goal and he slipped a low effort past Soria to help Barca put one hand on the trophy. Alexander Sorloth struck twice as Atletico Madrid defeated Athletic to gain some momentum, but Diego Simeone’s side were left sweating on the fitness of midfielder Pablo Barrios, who walked off injured midway through the second half. Atletico have little to play for in La Liga, sitting fourth and now 10 points clear of Real Betis in fifth. Their hopes of silverware this season are pinned to European success and a potential first ever Champions League triumph. Losing energetic midfielder Barrios would be a blow for the Rojiblancos , with the first leg clash against the Premier League leaders approaching on Wednesday at Atletico’s Metropolitano stadium. The Spaniard had only just returned from a thigh injury after missing both legs of their quarterfinal win over Barcelona. “We all know Pablo is a hugely important player for us… and he’s a friend and it hurts to see him like that,” said Atletico playmaker Alex Baena. “I hope it’s just as minor as possible.” Before facing Ernesto Valverde’s Athletic Bilbao, Atletico had lost seven of their last eight games, including the Copa del Rey final last weekend. “It’s good to win again after a negative run,” said Atletico talisman Antoine Griezmann. “The important thing for us is to win today and go into Wednesday with confidence.” – AFP
