Only a miracle can deny them the title. PSG Coach: We are champions. It's 99.9 percent certain.
Their sole remaining challenger, Racing Lens, would not only need to overcome a six-point deficit in the final two matches but also a 15-goal disadvantage in goal difference.
The Parisians secured a 1-0 home victory against Brest in their 33rd Ligue 1 fixture on Sunday, with Desire Doue scoring in the 82nd minute. This puts them on the cusp of their 14th overall title and fifth in a row. "We are champions. It's 99.9 percent certain. I believe we deserved it. However, our approach to the remaining matches of the season won't change. We have the Champions League final on May 30th, and we want to be in peak form for it," stated Paris coach Luis Enrique at Sunday's press conference.
The postponement of celebrations might have even been welcomed by fans in the Parisian capital, as Sunday's match was marred by persistent rain. French international Desire Doue was the only player to find the net in the challenging conditions, celebrating a significant milestone. He made his 100th appearance for PSG.
"It went by quickly, but I've hit a hundred. I'm glad I played this match on home turf. Winning here is never easy. Every opponent comes here focused at 200 percent. But today, we played well from start to finish," praised the 20-year-old midfielder Doue.
The top two teams in Ligue 1 are set to clash on Wednesday in a rescheduled match from the 29th round, which will be played in Lens. St. Germain will then face a Parisian derby against FC in the season finale, hosted by the newly promoted side, who have already secured their safety and sit 11th after 33 rounds.
