Mbappe takes the penalty - it's a decent hit, but Pele drops low to his left to save! That will spare Marseille's embarrassment a little. PSG prepare to take the corner but there's no time.
FULL TIME: PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN 3-1 MARSEILLE

82'
All the sting has gone out of this game now. Marseille have all ten men behind the ball - they're now playing something like a 5-3-1, trying to keep the scoreline respectable. What a sad state of affairs for one of France's finest clubs.

61'

GOAL! 2-1 PSG! Di Maria is set free down the inside-right channel, jinks inside on his left foot and lashes a shot from a tight angle past Mandanda in at his far post!
That goal came from some steady build-up play from PSG, particularly Kehrer's quick thinking in prodding the loose ball through to Di Maria when Marseille failed to clear it. PSG are back in control now.
53'
Since Marseille's goal PSG have dominated the ball. One senses a goal is coming soon if Marseille aren't careful.

PSG get the 96th Classique underway!
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this Ligue 1 clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille at the Parc des Princes.
PSG proved that Le Classique isn't the rivalry it was when these sides last met last October as Kylian Mbappe came off the bench to sentence Marseille to a 2-0 defeat. That was PSG's record 11th victory in a row, putting them eight points clear at the top of Ligue 1. That gap is now 17 points, and the Ligue 1 title is certain to return to Paris for another year.
PSG still have pride to play for, though, and Marseille - who've won five of their last six games - remain in the hunt for the top three and a spot in next season's Champions League. Can Marseille spring a surprise against PSG like Man Utd did last week? Let's find out!
PSG (3-5-2): Alphonse Areola; Presnel Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva (c); Thomas Meunier, Marco Verratti, Leandro Paredes, Dani Alves, Layvin Kurzawa; Kylian Mbappe, Angel Di Maria.
PSG SUBS: Gianluigi Buffon, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Moussa Diaby, Juan Bernat, Colin Dagba, Thilo Kehrer, Christopher Nkunku.
MARSEILLE (4-4-2): Steve Mandanda (c); Bouna Sarr, Duje Caleta-Car, Boubacar Kamara, Hiroki Sakai; Florian Thauvin, Morgan Sanson, Maxime Lopez, Lucas Ocampos; Valere Germain, Mario Balotelli.
MARSEILLE SUBS: Kevin Strootman, Luiz Gustavo, Dimitri Payet, Jordan Amavi, Adil Rami, Yohann Pele, Nemanja Radonjic.
The two sides enter the field - PSG in their dark blue, Marseille in their light blue. The atmosphere at the Parc des Princes is fantastic.
So PSG swat away Marseille for another season. Maybe this great rivalry will live up to its old billing again some day soon. Until then, Marseille can only dream. That's all for now. Goodbye!
