This Wednesday, it was the clash for the title for Lens. Racing challenged Paris Saint-Germain for a late match on the 29th day with the desire to delay the Ile-de-France club’s title. A real balance of power between two playful teams where Paris Saint-Germain emerged victorious with a 2-0 victory. Stronger and more efficient, Luis Enrique’s gang got the better of their opponent and can now enjoy their fourteenth French champion title.
Decisive passer on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s first goal and crowned best player in Ligue 1 this Monday, Ousmane Dembélé spoke at the end of the meeting at the microphone of beIN Sports. The French striker began by savoring his team’s great victory while focusing on the upcoming events: “yes, that’s it, we wanted to win here, we especially want to prepare for the final on May 30. We had to put in a serious match, we still have one on Sunday and we’re going to celebrate, because it’s official, we’re champion. We’re going to let go a little, but not too much, because we’re playing in three days. We’re going to celebrate a little and stay focused.”
Dembélé kicks into touch for the Ballon d’Or
Ballon d’Or last season following a solid performance, Ousmane Dembélé remains in the race to retain the title. Asked about this, the former Stade Rennais and FC Barcelona player preferred to remain collective: “very calm, as I said, the individual trophies come later, if they come, if they don’t come, that’s how it is. The most important thing is the collective titles, we won the L1, the Super Cup, the Intercontinental, on May 30, we have something great for all PSG fans.»
Finally, the French international had the privilege of being greeted upon his release by the Lensois public. A mark of affection that he particularly appreciated.
