It was not pretty, but Paris Saint-Germain beat SC Bastia 2-0 on Saturday to maintain their five-point lead at the top of Ligue 1.
Laurent Blanc’s men were not impressive in their victory, but a pair of goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic was enough to secure a barely-merited fourth straight success in Le Championnat at Stade de Furiani.
As is often the case following an international break or prior to a prestigious game in the UEFA Champions League, of which this fixture ticked both boxes, the French champions did the absolute bare minimum to get through the match and rarely moved out of third gear.
