In a dying season, PSG has the consolation of being league champions again. He has yet to meet in the Champions League but at least Christophe Galtier’s team is clinging to defend itself in France, where it is becoming increasingly difficult for someone to dispute his dominance. Although they are often criticized for not playing as a team, individual talent undoubtedly makes the difference against lower-level rivals.
In the same Sunday he could be the champion. With nine points to play for and a six-point margin over Lens, PSG can revalidate the league at the pitch of an Auxerre compromised by their table situation, just one point from the relegation zone. The Parisian club, however, will have to wait and see what Lens will do first. If they lose their commitment against Lorient, a draw or a win for PSG will be final.
Those are the PSG accounts to be champions with just three days to go. Should Lens prevail at home, the capital team will have to wait until next week to mathematically revalidate the league. In that hypothetical scenario, and in case he also did his homework, the distance between the two would still be six points with only six at stake in a league that is resolved by overall goal difference in the standings.
The one automatically eliminated from that long-distance race is Marseille, who lost at Lille yesterday in a game that turned out to be less. Clauss advanced in the first half in Igor Tudor’s team but after the break Jonathan David and Bamba returned for the home team (2-1). With this result, Olympique will have to try to catch Lens. Taking second place from him will save him from playing in the previous stage of the Champions League.
