At least there, no need for debate, we already know the winner. The lucky winner is called PSG and we are not talking about his result against Lens but about the coronation in Ligue 1. Paris will be champion, it remains to be seen whether it will be this Saturday evening, on its lawn at the Parc des Princes. Or if it will be necessary to wait, the next day, a defeat of Marseille, even the next day. To fold the case and pocket the tenth title in its history tied with Saint-Étienne, the capital club needs a simple draw.
But let’s admit that a victory, against one of the teams in form in the championship, would have a little more hold for a PSG which has not always shone against its main domestic rivals. “Anyway, there is no question, Paris will be champions at one time or another, supports Franck Haise, the coach of Lens, whose team 7th in the standings remains on three victories. We are not going there to postpone the coronation, we are there to rub shoulders and cause problems for an extremely successful team at home with 18 wins and 1 draw. »
Navas is likely to chain
The flattering record of the Parisians in their stadium should not make us forget the lackluster performances and the hard-fought victories against Lyon (2-1), Rennes (1-0), Lille (2-1) and very recently against OM (2-1). The future champion of France will have all the fewer excuses as he recovers for the occasion Neymar, Messi, Verratti, and Kimpembe, suspended or injured last Wednesday in Angers (3-0).
Suffice to say that with the reconstituted “MNM”, a reinforced environment and defense, Paris presents itself in its best light. Pochettino has also hinted that he could renew the tactical scheme with three central defenders (3-5-2), which would allow us to see for the first time this season the long-awaited association between Marquinhos, Ramos and Kimpembe .
There remains the question of the goalkeeper. Navas is likely to continue, even if he poured out on Wednesday evening, and no longer aspires to share playing time with Donnarumma next season. These recriminations will surely find an echo among the Ultras of PSG who exposed theirs to the management of PSG several weeks ago now. Since then, and with no response from the club to their requests for change, they have been on a cheering strike which promises to last this Saturday evening. Tenth title or not.
