PSG plays against Angers its first match point

0

The finish line is getting closer and closer for PSG. With a 15-point lead over their runner-up Marseille six days before the end of the championship, Paris-Saint-Germain are approaching their match against Angers like a tennis player playing their first match point.

“New Bullets”

Mauricio Pochettino will have to freshen up his squad a bit for this first opportunity to seek a title that seems to no longer be able to escape Paris SG. The absences of Messi (Achilles tendon), “Ney” (suspended) or Marco Verratti (knee) sound like “an opportunity for young people to show themselves and gain experience”, explains the Argentine coach. Xavi Simons or Édouard Michut have a chance to play. The package of Presnel Kimpembe (knee) will rather be compensated by a former, Sergio Ramos, who will be able to enrich his colossal collection of trophies. With 15 points ahead of his runner-up, Olympique de Marseille, the announced coronation is no longer in doubt. PSG only need 4 points over the remaining six days to win the trophy. It remains for the Parisians to finish in style, to make people forget their failures of the season. Eliminated in the round of 16 of the Champions League by Real Madrid in bitter conditions (1-0, 1-3), released in the Coupe de France by Nice (0-0, 6 pens to 5), even beaten in the Trophy champions by Lille (1-0), the club from the French capital will “only” win the L1 this season.

The Parisian giant can match Olympique Lyonnais 2006-2007, also crowned on the evening of the 33rd day. OL finished 17 points ahead of OM. But PSG can no longer beat their own record for the earliest crowned team in the history of the French Championship, when they were champions from the 30th day in 2016, celebrating the title with a 9-0 against Troyes. That year, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s partners finished 31 (!) points ahead of Lyon. They scored a whopping 102 goals and conceded only 19, for 30 wins and only two losses. But they had made 0-0 in Angers …
