Another very small effort… Going to win Sunday evening on the lawn of Auxerre (2-1), the PSG players put a hand and four fingers on the trophy of champion of France which reaches out to them. Only the victory of their runner-up Racing Club de Lens in Lorient (3-1) delayed the deadline which seems almost inevitable, two days before the end of the Ligue 1 season.
Christophe Galtier’s men have a six-point lead over the Sang et Or and a goal difference almost impossible to fill at this stage of the championship (+ 50 for PSG, + 34 for Lens).
The capital club has its destiny between its feet and only needs a draw on the lawn of Racing Club de Strasbourg on Saturday evening (9 p.m.) to officially become champion for the eleventh time in its history, a record nationally. Even a success for Lens, opposed to Ajaccio at the same time, combined with a sharing of points between Paris and the Strasbourgeois would not prevent PSG from being crowned. A defeat at La Meinau would also offer the title to Kylian Mbappé’s partners in the event of a lack of victory for Franck Haise’s men.
The only scenario that would prevent PSG from being officially champions of France this weekend would be to witness a setback for Paris and a success for Lens against the ACA. Three points would then separate the two teams with one day to go. In which case, the capital club would wait until June 3 and the reception of Clermont at the Parc des Princes to definitively ratify the thing and celebrate the title with its supporters.
