Luis Enrique believes Paris Saint-Germain were "almost perfect" as they thumped Marseille 5-0 in Le Classique to return to the top of Ligue 1.

Lens had regained top spot with a 3-1 win over Rennes on Saturday, but PSG responded in style to move two points clear at the summit.

Ousmane Dembele led the charge with a first-half brace, with goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lee Kang-in following a Facundo Medina own goal to secure the points.

Dembele has been involved in nine goals against Marseille in all competitions (five goals, four assists), making them the opponent against whom he has the most goal involvements in his career.

PSG generated 4.4 expected goals (xG) from their 22 shots, of which seven were on target, while also hitting the woodwork four times, and Luis Enrique was thrilled with the manner of the victory.

"It was almost perfect. I think we started the match intensely, with aggression both on and off the ball," he said.

"We dominated, but it was difficult because they know how to play against us. The result shows a difference. We were able to score more goals, but it's a very important day for our supporters because we made history.

"It's significant: 5-0; that had never happened before. We saw the tifos, it's incredible, the level of the supporters at every match. We're used to it. They're always there, at every match. When we have problems, they're there. It's a real pleasure.

"This match is very important for confidence because we were clinical. But if I talk in terms of pressing or with the ball, we can be even more clinical. We're continuing on the same trajectory as last year."

PSG remain overwhelming favourites to win the Ligue 1 title for a fifth consecutive season.

They succeed in 94.7% of the Opta supercomputer's simulations, with Lens' chances sitting at 4.9%. Lyon, who are now third, come out on top in the remaining 0.4%.

But Luis Enrique insisted this was not a statement win for his side.

"No, no message [being sent]," he said. "If someone doesn't know PSG, that's not our problem.

"We're a consistent team. We've shown the level of our players, both individually and collectively. This is the best moment of the season."
