Paris Saint-Germain warmed up for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich by fielding a second-string line-up and throwing away the lead twice in a 2-2 draw with Lorient in Ligue 1 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Ibrahim Mbaye's fortuitous early goal to put PSG ahead at the Parc des Princes was cancelled out by Pablo Pagis, but Warren Zaire-Emery gave the hosts the lead for the second time, moments after coming on as a substitute.<\/p>\n
However, a mistake by teenage debutant Pierre Mounguengue allowed Aiyegun Tosin to run through and score a second for Lorient, and PSG could not find a winner.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, their lead at the top of the table remains six points with three games left after title rivals Lens drew 1-1 at Nice.<\/p>\n
Lens still have to host PSG on May 13, but Luis Enrique's side will be crowned champions next weekend if they better the result of their closest challengers.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, PSG are focused principally on the defence of their European title as they face Bayern away on Wednesday after winning 5-4 at home in the first leg.<\/p>\n
"It is very difficult in terms of motivation after playing a Champions League semi-final in an incredible atmosphere, but I expect more from my players," said Luis Enrique, who made nine changes, with only Willian Pacho and Desire Doue retained from midweek.<\/p>\n
Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia were unused substitutes while Vitinha was rested entirely.<\/p>\n
Renato Marin, 19, made just his second top-team appearance in goal. Mounguengue, an 18-year-old forward, came on in the second half.<\/p>\n
– Lens draw, Marseille misery –<\/p>\n
PSG went ahead on six minutes when Lorient goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo attempted to clear a Doue cross but instead played the ball off Mbaye before it rebounded in.<\/p>\n
Pagis converted the first equaliser for Lorient, but the hosts went 2-1 up just after the hour.<\/p>\n
Zaire-Emery had just come on for Fabian Ruiz when he controlled a Doue pass for his first touch, and then fired in via a deflection.<\/p>\n
But Mounguengue cost the home side two points when his loose pass was pounced upon by Tosin and the Benin forward went on to score.<\/p>\n
PSG, chasing a fifth straight Ligue 1 title, hit the post late on through Senny Mayulu as they dropped points for the third time in five home league games.<\/p>\n
Lens could not take advantage, as they led at Nice through Allan Saint-Maximin's goal but were reduced to 10 men late on when Saud Abdulhamid was sent off for chopping down Sofiane Diop as he ran in on goal.<\/p>\n
The resulting free-kick fell into the path of Ali Abdi and he made it 1-1.<\/p>\n
– Troyes heading up –<\/p>\n
Marseille's troubled season continued with a 3-0 defeat at struggling Nantes which is a further blow to their prospects of Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n
Ignatius Ganago, Remy Cabella and Matthis Abline all scored in the space of nine minutes in the second half as Nantes claimed a first win in nine matches.<\/p>\n
Eight-time champions Nantes remain in the automatic relegation places with two games left but are now just two points behind Auxerre in the play-off spot before their rivals play on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Marseille have lost four of their last six and have slipped to seventh below Monaco, who won 2-1 at Metz.<\/p>\n
OM are four points away from a Champions League berth with two games left, and are even at risk of not qualifying for Europe at all.<\/p>\n
"We got what we deserved," said coach Habib Beye, who insisted he will not resign.<\/p>\n
"When you take on a challenge like this you don't just give up. I will never quit."<\/p>\n
Monaco revived their European hopes by coming from behind against Metz, with USA star Folarin Balogun scoring a ninth goal in 10 league games to equalise before Ansu Fati's stoppage-time winner.<\/p>\n
Metz have gone 20 league matches without winning and the result confirmed their relegation.<\/p>\n
Troyes, who are part of the City Football Group, secured promotion back to Ligue 1 last weekend after a three-year absence.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, they clinched the Ligue 2 title with a game of the season to spare. Le Mans are on course to take the second automatic promotion spot.<\/p>\n
