Will PSG celebrate its 12th French championship title on Breton soil on Wednesday evening? Asked about the idea of his team being titled as soon as possible to concentrate on other deadlines, Luis Enrique quickly brushed it aside. “It’s not an emergency, reported the Parisian coach, Saturday April 20 at a press conference, on the eve of the match against Olympique Lyonnais, won 4 to 1. The goal has always been the same: to be competitive in every match and try to win them all. Whether we are crowned in Ligue 1 in two, three or four games, we will continue to be a competitive team.”
With the capital club still engaged on all fronts, it will have a busy month of May: three Ligue 1 matches, a Champions League semi-final against Borussia Dortmund (first leg on May 1, return on the 7th). ), and a Coupe de France final against the Lyonnais on the 25th.
Win and hope for a bad result from Monaco
On Wednesday, PSG will make up for their match of the 29th day in Lorient, which should initially have been held between the two legs of their quarter-final against Barcelona. For the Parisians to be crowned so early, the scenario is simple: Paris Saint-Germain must win, while its runner-up, Monaco, which hosts Lille the same evening, must not win. A draw for the Monegasques would be enough for the happiness of Luis Enrique and his players.
The six clubs with a match in hand – Paris, Monaco, Lille, Nice, Marseille and Lorient – still have five games to play, and therefore a maximum of 15 points to take. Luis Enrique’s men are already 11 ahead of Monaco. They need more than 12 at the end of Wednesday evening to be officially titled with four days remaining. And prepare for the European meeting against Dortmund with a lighter mind.
- PSG will be champions if they win at Lorient and second-placed Monaco draw or lose to Lille
- PSG will not yet be champion if they do not win, or if they win but Monaco also win
