A late goal from Kylian Mbappé (90) secured victory for the PSG away from home by 2-1 against Brest (15th) and, above all, prevented the Parisian club’s crisis from getting worse after being eliminated in the Champions League against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
“Coming here and winning three days after the disappointment with Bayern was very important. We are in the fight for the title. The context is obviously not favorable, but winning was the main thing”, said PSG coach Christophe Galtier to Canal Plus .
Before Mbappé’s decisive goal, the 19th of this season in Ligue 1, Spaniard Carlos Soler had put the visitors ahead (36) and Franck Honorat equalized for the Britons almost at half-time (43).
With this victory, PSG increases its advantage at the top of Ligue 1 to 11 points over its main competitor, Olympique de Marseille (2nd), which closes the 27th round of the French championship this Sunday, receiving Strasbourg (17th).
“People can say it’s a small victory but it’s a victory. Not everything was perfect but we had a lot of chances and we shouldn’t let the fact that we needed a last-minute goal hide that,” said Galtier.
