Paris Saint-Germain dispatched Olympique de Marseille thanks to two goals from Argentinean Angel di Maria and one from Cavani (3-0), which guaranteed their qualification to the semifinals of the French Cup.
Just like in the league match last Sunday, PSG showed that they are light years ahead of the team that, in theory, should be their main rival in France, especially if we look at their history, and repeated the same result.
With the news that Neymar will not be available against Madrid, Unai Emery lined up Di Maria in his position, who has shown his best form since arriving in Paris in 2018.
And "El Fideo", supported by the other two usual members of the trident, Uruguayan Cavani and Frenchman Kylian Mbappe, responded to the trust with two goals that dismantled a persevering Marseille, surrendering to their inferiority throughout the 90 minutes.
In injury time of the first half, he took advantage of a pass from Drexler to make effective the dominion that his team had maintained, and in the 48th minute, he scored again after a disarray from the Marseille defense.
Cavani rounded off the result in the 81st minute, after having missed some clear chances in the match.

PSG vs Marseille - Preview
Before seeking their comeback against Real Madrid in the Champions League, PSG will have two matches that could be considered mere formalities.
The first of them will take place this Thursday when the Parisian team faces Marseille in the quarterfinals of the French Cup, a team they already defeated last weekend in the league with a score of 2-0.
Without Neymar due to injury, it wouldn't be surprising if Unai Emery decides to rest some starters and use reserve players.
The PSG vs Marseille match will be played at Parc des Princes starting at 03:05 p.m. (Peruvian time) and will be televised in Latin America by DirecTV Sports.
