The much -changed side of Luis Enrique remained on course to achieve that, because goals from Desire Done and Goncalo Ramos sealed a routine three points.
The head coach made nine changes to the team that PSG's Champions League defeat of the second leg against Aston Villa started in midweek, when they prevailed to be aggregated to continue to the semi-final.
Luis Enrique believes that the character that shows his players has placed the benchmark for the rest of the season, because they focus on a possible treble.
“I am very happy,” he told the official club website. “I am happier than for most games, because I knew how difficult it would be to play this game.
