- Marseille struggling to build play and contain PSG's attacking quality in fifth-round clash
Summary
Marseille's already difficult afternoon against PSG took a turn for the worse when Paixao was unable to continue after falling awkwardly in an aerial challenge with Warren Zaire Emery. The Brazilian required assistance from medical staff to leave the pitch and was replaced by Angel Gomes, forcing Genesio into a tactical reshuffle with Gouiri moving to the left and Maupay operating alone up front.
PSG, buoyed by Doué's return to the side after two matches on the bench, controlled proceedings with superior possession and technical quality. Marseille, arriving on a run of four consecutive defeats across all competitions, offered little resistance as the European champions pressed their advantage.
