PSG can clinch another league title if it wins at Lorient and Monaco does not beat Lille
PARIS (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain could be celebrating a record 12th league title in a sleepy seaport in Brittany on Wednesday.
Only Monaco and Lille can catch PSG, with the Principality side trailing by 11 points and Lille 14 points adrift, and five matches remaining for each side.
A win for PSG, which also has a massively superior goal difference, at Lorient on Wednesday will be enough to seal the title if the game between Monaco and Lille later in the day ends in a draw.
Luis Enrique’s PSG has only lost one league game this season, and that was way back in September.
Realistically, it appears nothing can stop PSG clinching a 10th title since cash-rich Qatari investors QSI took over the club in June 2011.
Only Montpellier in 2012, Monaco in 2017 — featuring a very young Kylian Mbappé in the side — and Lille in 2021 have stopped PSG winning the national title since QSI’s arrival.
