Last season, PSG became the only record holder for the number of French football championship titles with their 11th crown. And if the 12th seems to have always been promised to him this season, he could make it official this Wednesday, at the final whistle of his late match on the 29th day of Ligue 1 on the pitch at FC Lorient.
Thanks to its big victory on home turf against OL this Sunday evening (4-1), PSG maintained its large lead at the top of the standings and is 11 points ahead of its runner-up, AS Monaco, winner of Brest this Sunday afternoon (0-2). With ASM also having a late match to play on Wednesday, PSG’s potential anticipated title will depend not only on its performance in Lorient, but also on that of Monaco against Lille.
Thus, there is only one scenario in which PSG will be mathematically assured of the title on Wednesday evening, at around 11 p.m.: if it wins on the Lorient pitch and Monaco does not win. against Lille.
If Paris wins, it will have 69 points with four matches remaining. Monaco, with 55 points currently, must absolutely maintain a gap equal to or less than 12 points to delay the Parisian coronation. With a draw, the Rocher players would have 56 points, or 13 points behind Paris, for 14 in the event of a defeat.
In the event of a Monegasque victory against Lille, on the other hand, we will have to wait a little longer. Until April 27, at least, and the Le Havre reception at the Parc des Princes. It will be just before the Champions League semi-final first leg in Dortmund, and it certainly wouldn’t be a bad way to get in shape.
