Ousmane Dembele struck twice as Paris Saint-Germain blew away bitter rivals Marseille on Sunday, reclaiming top spot in Ligue 1 with a crushing 5-0 victory at the Parc des Princes. Dembele opened the scoring after just 12 minutes and added a second before half-time as PSG delivered a real statement of intent going into the crucial months of the season. Facundo Medina's own goal made it 3-0 just past the hour before substitutes Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lee Kang-in got in on the act as PSG avenged their 1-0 defeat at the Velodrome earlier this campaign. Luis Enrique's side have now won seven straight league matches, though they remain under pressure from surprise challengers Lens, who briefly moved top on Saturday and sit just two points behind.

It would be fair to say that he doesn't agree with what the former Inter striker has had to say about the Portuguese. Emanuele: "Antonio, aren't you making all this fuss over Leao because you're actually in love with him, and you see in him the only refinement and bravado in Serie A, just like you did? Or are you also a results-oriented player who criticises talent?"
CREMONA, Italy -- Inter Milan's match at Cremonese had to be halted Sunday for a few minutes after home goalkeeper Emil Audero was struck by a flare. The incident happened at the start of the second half. Play was in the middle of the field when a flare was thrown from the away fans sector into the penalty area, striking Audero.
Following the expiration of his contract in December, Lingard began exploring his options, and that search appears to be nearing a conclusion. While he has held talks with several clubs in England, the Daily Mail reports that another overseas adventure now looks the most likely outcome. Specifically, Lingard is said to be in advanced discussions with Serie A sides, opening the door to a potential move to Italy.
There is plenty of plotting to be done at Old Trafford and they are keen to bring in some young talent. One man on the Manchester United shortlist is Chelsea's 19-year-old Tyrique George, who has become something of a fringe figure at Stamford Bridge in recent times. Other options for the recruitment bods are Milan's Rafael Leao and Everton's Iliman Ndiaye.
Manchester United are reportedly willing to sanction a late January loan move for Joshua Zirkzee, a significant shift in stance that has reignited interest from Juventus and several other Italian sides. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Red Devils are now open to a temporary exit for the Dutch forward as the window enters its decisive phase. Zirkzee arrived at Old Trafford with promise but has found opportunities limited amid fierce competition for attacking minutes.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are actively exploring the possibility of re-signing the Italian forward, who has endured a frustrating spell at Anfield despite being part of a Premier League title-winning squad. Chiesa arrived at Liverpool with high expectations following his impressive displays in Italy, where he became one of Serie A's most dynamic attackers. However, his time in England has not unfolded as hoped.
Napoli are on the brink of being eliminated from the Champions League as the troubled Italian club face Chelsea on Wednesday, racked by a deep injury crisis and a faltering Serie A title defence. Sat just inside the elimination zone on only eight points from seven matches after last week's miserable 1-1 draw at Copenhagen, Napoli must beat Chelsea to scrape a place in next month's playoffs. That will be no easy task with Chelsea, Antonio Conte's former club, needing a win to stay in the top eight and bag direct qualification for the last 16.
Inter started with a stronger squad, while Milan, at least on paper, are aiming to get back into the European competition, even though there are always those who expect something more. I believe that at least as of now, the Serie A standings reflect the strengths of the leading teams, especially those who will be competing for the title between now and next May.
