Lille faced Lyon (3 – 3), this Friday March 10 at the start of the 27th day of Ligue 1. This Saturday March 11, at 9 p.m., PSG travels to Brest. After its elimination in the Champions League against Bayern Munich, but also in the Coupe de France against OM, Paris has only one meager consolation left: the championship.

The atmosphere is heavy at Paris Saint-Germain. The club clings to the branches of the championship which it dominates with eight points ahead of Olympique de Marseille. However, winning Ligue 1 – for the 11th time since its creation – would not be an event for this club with solid finances. But coach Christophe Galtier feels obliged to recall basic objectives to maintain a certain level of requirement.

“Fight to the End”

“Winning is not normal, winning is difficult. Of course, we are eight points ahead, but to obtain this title, we will have to fight until the end. It is an important objective and we must not not minimize the fact of being champion of France”, reports Christophe Galtier in a press conference.

Brest, a small Ligue 1 budget

The feverishness spreads through the Parisian ranks before a seemingly banal trip to Brest, which now becomes a priority. The Breton club has one of the smallest budgets in Ligue 1, fifteen times smaller than PSG. Brest has one of the smallest stadiums in the championship, Francis Le Blé, with only 15,000 seats. A workforce without a big star. Paris arrives in Finistère with its cascade of injuries, Marquinhos, Neymar, Kimpembe, Hakimi, Mukiele and a bad headache, which the club will have difficulty treating.
