Paris Saint-Germain extended their unbeaten run in Ligue 1 with a hard-fought 2-1 comeback victory against Lens on Saturday. Bradley Barcola emerged as the star of the match, orchestrating a crucial turnaround in a pivotal week for Luis Enrique's side.

Comeback Victory Strengthens PSG's Lead

This win marks PSG's fourth consecutive league victory, solidifying their position at the top of the table with a 10-point advantage over Olympique de Marseille, who will play Strasbourg on Sunday. The result sets the tone for PSG’s upcoming Champions League clash against Manchester City, a critical test in the group stage.

The Parisians struggled early, conceding in the 30th minute when M'Bala Nzola capitalized on a poorly defended corner by Vitinha, giving Lens a 1-0 lead. PSG lacked intensity throughout the first half, managing little response until halftime.

Barcola Sparks the Comeback

The second half saw a shift in momentum. Though Nzola seemed to double Lens' lead, his goal was ruled offside, offering PSG a lifeline. The equalizer came soon after: a brilliant pass from Vitinha found Barcola, who set up Fabián Ruiz for a composed finish, leveling the score at 1-1.

As PSG gained control, opportunities followed. Doué missed a clear chance from a Gonçalo Ramos assist, but the decisive moment arrived in the 86th minute. Joao Neves delivered a precise ball to Barcola, who slotted it home with composure, clinching the 2-1 victory.
