Despite their draw against Le Havre on Saturday evening (3-3), PSG could be crowned champion of France this Sunday.
PSG will have to wait a little longer… While they had the possibility of winning the twelfth title in their history this Saturday evening in the event of success against Le Havre, Luis Enrique’s men were finally held on by a valiant team Norman (3-3). Therefore, the Rouge et Bleu are not yet mathematically champions of France.
Three days before the end of the Ligue 1 season, the Parisians are 12 points ahead of their runner-up, AS Monaco, who however have a game in hand, as well as a goal difference of +29. The Monegasques travel this Sunday (7 p.m.) to the Olympique Lyonnais field. A meeting which could seal the fate of the championship.
Parisians will carefully follow Lyon-Monaco
Indeed, Paris Saint-Germain will be crowned champion of France if AS Monaco loses to OL or concedes a draw. Only a victory for the Principality club in the Rhône would further delay the coronation of the residents of the Parc des Princes. However, for Luis Enrique, the title is already acquired.
“Today we won the championship, without a doubt, and this draw gives us the title, I celebrate it like thatdeclared the Spanish coach after his team’s draw against Le Havre. Even if we no longer take the slightest point between now and the end of the season, 27 goals difference today (29 in reality, editor’s note), this draw gives us the title. In any case, it’s a strange evening of football because I’ve never seen a rival who did so little in attack and ended up with three goals scored. I think I’ve never seen that in my coaching career… They defended well, I have to admit, that’s why they took a point, but I think they made 145 passes in all the match… We deserved to win this match from the start, but that’s football. »
