In the aftermath of Strasbourg's brilliant victory against OL (4-2), the 27e Ligue 1 day continues this Saturday with three games on the program: Reims-OM (5 p.m.), Saint-Etienne-Psg (7 p.m.) and Monaco-Nice (9:05 p.m.). Three meetings that could already act on the 13the title of champion of France in the history of Paris Saint-Germain.

Before facing the Greens, Luis Enrique players actually have 19 lengths ahead of their Marseille runner -up, and 21 points more than the ASM and the OGCN. There is therefore a scenario that mathematically crown the club of the capital this evening. But for this coronation to be official, three conditions must be met.

PSG Champion as of Saturday if …

One, the Olympians must bow to the lawn of the Rémois. Two, the teammates of Ousmane Dembélé must win in the cauldron. Three, the Azurean derby must end up in a draw at the Louis-II stadium. In this case, PSG would have 71 points to seven days from the end and could no longer be joined by OM (49), Monaco and Nice (48).

If the red and blue were sacred this Saturday, they would not break their record for precocity, which dates back to 2016. That season, they had monopolized the trophy on the evening of March 13, after having corrected Troyes outside (9-0). But another record can still fall, that of the invincibility series established by FC Nantes in 1994-1995 (32 games).
