Paris Saint-Germain delivered a dominant performance to thrash Marseille 5-0 in their Ligue 1 Le Classique clash at Parc des Princes. Ousmane Dembélé starred with two first-half goals, while Facundo Medina's own goal, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's strike, and Lee Kang-In's finish completed the comprehensive victory.

PSG controlled the match from the opening whistle, with Dembélé opening the scoring in the 12th minute after Nuno Mendes found him in space. The French forward doubled his tally just before halftime with a brilliant solo effort from the right flank. Marseille struggled to create meaningful chances despite threatening moments from Amine Gouiri and Mason Greenwood.

After the break, PSG extended their lead when Medina inadvertently turned the ball into his own net in the 64th minute. Kvaratskhelia made it four two minutes later, capitalizing on Dembélé's cross to fire into the bottom corner. Substitute Lee Kang-In sealed the win with a composed finish in the 74th minute, capping a miserable evening for Marseille.

The result keeps PSG at the top of the Ligue 1 table with 51 points, two clear of Lens, while Marseille drop out of the top three after Lyon leapfrogged them. This emphatic victory serves as revenge for PSG's 1-0 defeat to Marseille earlier this season and builds momentum following their Champions Trophy win in January.
