Paris Saint-Germain strengthened their grip on the Ligue 1 title with a 3-1 victory over Toulouse on Friday, extending their lead at the top to four points ahead of a massive Champions League clash against Liverpool.
Ousmane Dembélé starred for Paris Saint-Germain as they dismissed Toulouse to move four points clear of RC Lens.
Dembélé opened the scoring with a brilliant long-range strike before Rasmus Nicolaisen briefly leveled for the visitors.
PSG quickly regained control through a Khvicha Kvaratskhelia header and a second from Dembélé. Gonçalo Ramos added a late third to secure the win at the Parc des Princes.
Luis Enrique utilized the match to rotate his squad, withdrawing Kvaratskhelia early to preserve fitness for Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against Liverpool.
Despite a disallowed hat-trick for Dembélé, the French giants dominated possession and looked physically prepared for European competition.
The manager noted that his squad is “pretty much as it needs to be ahead of the big games.”
