With their Ligue 1 rout of Lille, PSG issues a warning to Liverpool
Paris Saint-Germain easily defeated Lille 4-1 on Saturday to increase their advantage in France to 16 points.
Before facing Liverpool in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain easily defeated Lille 4-1. PSG's winning streak in Ligue 1 this season now stands at 24 games after goals from Bradley Barcola, Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembele, and Desire Doue in the first half at the Parc des Princes. After substituting for Lille, who will play Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their last-16 match on Tuesday, Jonathan David got a consolation goal.
The Premier League leaders, Liverpool, had a rare weekend free, and PSG, who are cruising to their 11th league title in 13 years, will face the greatest test of the season over the next two weeks. Although David has only scored twice in the league since early December, his late goal was his 12th this season. The team now looks forward to their heavyweight Champions League clash with Liverpool.
