To save itself, after this match against Paris, Lorient will host TFC on Sunday, will go to Lens then to Marseille and will finish at Moustoir against Clermont, the last. Not terrible…
In a Ligue 1 with 18 clubs, only one team (out of 18) escaped with only 26 points after 29 matches. And it’s Marseille in… 1957 (the year of Toulouse’s first Coupe de France, but that’s another subject).
One week before the Champions League semi-final first leg in Dortmund, Luis Enrique left Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery and Bradley Barcola to rest, not even in the group. Obviously, there are quite a few young people, including Yoram Zague, Senny Mayulu (starters) and Ethan Mbappé (substitute).
We don’t delay, with the Lorient team, which has a pressing need for points with its penultimate place and its three defeats in a row.
It’s only a matter of time, with him still having five Ligue 1 games to play this season. PSG will be champion of France for the twelfth time in its history, the third in a row. The title could be made official this Wednesday, if Luis Enrique’s team wins in Lorient, and then Monaco fails to beat Lille.
The Spanish coach does not hide his desire to take a further step towards a fabulous quadruple, after the Champions Trophy and before the Coupe de France and the Champions League. Penultimate in Ligue 1, two points behind the Metz play-offs, the Merlus want to move towards less troubled waters, which means delaying the Parisian coronation.
» Because we love Ligue 1 so much that we follow it even when it is delayed during the week, we meet around 6:30 p.m.
