All of Paris hopes so: the only number to remember from the season will be 11, which will signify the eleventh title in the history of PSG in the league. Despite another defeat conceded on Sunday in the league against Lorient (1-3), Ligue 1 is still reaching out to him thanks to a five-point lead over OM five days from the end. But this setback against Les Merlus at home continues to fuel the sad “records” of a very special season.
6. Six defeats in the league: in the history of PSG QSI version, this is a rarity. This total has only been reached twice. This season, therefore, and during the 2020-2021 financial year (8 losses), the one which had seen the LOSC of… Christophe Galtier become champion of France. Before that, we have to go back to the 2010-2011 season, the one that preceded the arrival of the Qatari shareholders (8 losses as well). Paris then finished fourth in Ligue 1. Since then, the most defeats in the league had climbed to five in 2011-2012, 2012-2013, 2016-2017, 2018-2019.
3. Lorient signed a first in the history of PSG QSI version, an era that began in 2011. Les Merlus became the first opponents to win at the Parc des Princes by scoring three goals. Other teams have managed to hole the net three times but have never managed to win. Lille, this season, thought to do it on February 19 by leading 3-2. Before a magic free kick from Lionel Messi offered success to PSG.
8. For the first time since 1989 (!), i.e. 34 years, PSG sign a series of 8 games in a row by conceding at least one goal in the league at the Parc des Princes. In 2023, only Angers (2-0, January 11) left Fanny from Porte d’Auteuil. Reims, Toulouse, Lille, Nantes, Rennes, Lyon, Lens and Lorient have all deceived Gianluigi Donnarumma at least once. PSG only have the fourth “best” defense in Ligue 1 with 34 goals conceded in 33 games, behind OM (32 in 33), Nice (31 in 33) and Lens (25 in 32).
9. In all competitions, Christophe Galtier’s PSG have lost 9 times this season. This is not a “record” of the Qatari era, since the 2020-2021 season (13 losses) is the worst in this area. In 2011-2012, the first under QSI also had 9 defeats. Otherwise, it stopped at a maximum of 8 losses in 2012-2013, 2018-2019 and 2021-2022. Paris are not used to losing, even in seasons when the league title slips away. But where Galtier’s team signs a “record” is that these 9 setbacks were suffered in just four months and 22 games, between January 1 in Lens (3-1) and April 30 against Lorient (1-3 ).
