Paris Saint-Germain reclaimed the Ligue 1 championship in style with a 7-1 thrashing of last year’s champions, Monaco. With Neymar still sidelined and Kylian Mbappé unused on Unai Emery’s substitutes bench, PSG raced into a 4-0 lead thanks to two goals from Giovani Lo Celso and one each from Edinson Cavani and Ángel Di María.

Second-placed Monaco, who broke a run of four consecutive PSG titles when they won the championship last season, did pull a goal back on 38 minutes through Rony Lopes to make it 4-1 before half-time, but were blown away in the second half with Di María, Julian Draxler and a Radamel Falcao own goal capping a wonderful evening for the Parisians. The result means they are now 17 points clear of Monaco with five matches remaining. Despite Emery now completing a domestic double after PSG’s Coupe de la Ligue triumph last month, the Spanish manager’s future is the subject of intense speculation. PSG have now scored 103 goals in this league campaign, winning 28 of their 33 games. Neymar did not appear to be in attendance at the Parc des Princes, but told Brazilian media earlier on Sunday that he is “recovering well” from his foot injury and “feels no pain.”

“I am stepping little by little,” said the Brazilian, who is still expected to be named in Brazil’s World Cup squad. “I cannot walk freely without the shoe, but I am in treatment, I am working out at the gym too.”

Serie A: Donnarumma save against Napoli gives Juve cushion

Juventus defeated Sampdoria 3-0 in Turin to go six points clear at the top of Serie A, after a stunning late save from the Milan goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, denied Napoli at the San Siro. Mario Mandzukic, Benedikt Höwedes and Sami Khedira were on the scoresheet for Juventus.Substitute Douglas Costa set up all three goals as Juventus put their Champions League heartbreak behind them to close in on a seventh successive league title. The hosts took the lead on the stroke of half-time when Mario Mandzukic volleyed home Costa’s cross.

The Brazilian winger, who had replaced the injured Miralem Pjanic two minutes earlier, also provided the cross for Benedikt Hoewedes to head the second on the hour, then went on a brilliant solo run to set up the third for Sami Khedira.

In the earlier game, Napoli forward Arkadiusz Milik seemed certain to score in stoppage time when Lorenzo Insigne’s header found him alone in front of goal, but Donnarumma somehow managed to turn his low shot around the post.

Milan, whose faint hopes of finishing in the top four were also hit by the 0-0 draw, had a goal by defender Mateo Musacchio ruled out for offside in the first half.

“It was an extraordinary save by an extraordinary goalkeeper,” said Maurizio Sarri, the Napoli head coach. “The team is doing what it has to do, at the moment we are less brilliant in attack but it was still a good performance.”

Juventus face Crotone away on Wednesday before hosting Napoli in a crucial game next Sunday. Max Allegri’s side also have trips to Internazionale and Roma to come, as well as home fixtures against Bologna and Verona.

Elsewhere in Serie A, bottom side Benevento earned their first away point of the season as Cheick Diabaté notched his third successive double in a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo, while SPAL boosted their survival hopes with a 0-0 draw at Fiorentina and Verona remain in trouble after a 2-0 defeat to Bologna.In the Rome derby 10-man Lazio held on for a 0-0 draw against Roma, after Stefan Radu was dismissed with 10 minutes remaining.

Bundesliga: Schalke close in on top-four as Batshuayi is injured

In the Bundesliga Yevhen Konoplyanka and Nando were on target as Schalke beat their local rivals Borussia Dortmund 2-0 to close in on a top-four finish. After failing to make their superiority count in the first half, Schalke took the lead five minutes after the break when Konoplyanka drilled the ball home after a mistake from Marcel Schmelzer. The Brazilian defender Naldo sealed the win for Domenico Tedesco’s team in spectacular style, lashing a long-range free kick into the bottom corner in the 82nd minute. Schalke are eight points clear of fifth-placed Leipzig, who drew 1-1 with Werder Bremen, with four games to play. Dortmund’s Michy Batshuayi left the field on a stretcher in stoppage time. Early reports suggest the Belgian striker, on loan from Chelsea, may have ankle ligament damage and could miss the World Cup. Reuters
