The Parisians will not take the trophy in their luggage to Dortmund, but they could well be crowned before the first leg of their Champions League semi-final. If a presentation of the trophy is not planned, whatever the outcome of the match on Saturday April 27 at 9:00 p.m., the Parisians could officially win the French championship in front of their home crowd, against Le Havre. They would be well inspired to pocket this reward before their main end-of-season matches, in the Champions League as well as in the Coupe de France final, on May 25 against Olympique Lyonnais.
By Luis Enrique’s own admission, at a press conference on the eve of the match against Le Havre, winning the title this weekend would allow us to approach the end of the season more calmly: “What changes is that if we win tomorrow, we will be officially champion and doing it in front of our supporters is ideal”. There is no doubt that the Parisian supporters present in the stands on Saturday are also dreaming of a title evening.
Paris master of its destiny
Unlike Wednesday, when Monaco delayed the Parisian coronation by winning in front of Lille, the Parisians have their destiny in their hands. They are already eleven points ahead of the Monegasques with four matches remaining, a gap that they must simply maintain to be crowned at the end of this 31st day, at the end of which there will only be three matches and nine points left. take for each team. Luis Enrique’s men will therefore ensure they are crowned if they succeed against Le Havre at the Parc des Princes.
On the other hand, if they fail to win, they will have to wait until Monaco travels to Lyon, Sunday April 28 at 7:00 p.m., to know their fate. In the event of a draw in Paris, it would be enough for the Monegasques not to win. But in the event of a defeat for PSG, it would also take a defeat for Monaco so that the players from the principality do not return to nine points behind them, the threshold at which they remain mathematically in the title race, although with a difference of very inferior goals (+18 against +47).
