It’s confirmed. As could be feared at the time of the postponement, the Lens-PSG clash should not have a big stake in the title race. The suspense almost vanished with the victory of the capital club against Brest (1-0), Sunday evening, as part of the 33rd day of Ligue 1.
Before going to Bollaert on Wednesday evening, for this famous late match, PSG gave itself a 6-point lead and a 15-length gap with its runner-up on goal difference (+44 to +26). In other words, it would take a victory by six or seven goals for Lens to believe in it again.
Four days after this trying evening in Munich, where PSG qualified for their second Champions League final in a row, Luis Enrique rested his executives, leaving only two starters in the eleven, Marquinhos and Fabian Ruiz. Even the goalkeeper turned, and Renato Marin was also called upon several times in the first period (24th, 30th, 34th).
Désiré Doué, the goal of the title
The Parisians were dangerous through Dro Fernandez, Gonçalo Ramos and Senny Mayulu. But it was obviously the entries of Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia which ended up making the difference.
DĂ©sirĂ© DouĂ©’s nice goal, with a shot from the edge of the area (1-0, 82nd), resembles the title goal. It allows PSG to end the evening on a happy note, for the last of the season at the Parc des Princes. While waiting for other festivities…
