As Ligue 1 continues its journey, PSG will face Lorient this Wednesday evening. An important meeting for the Parisians, who could become champions of France right now. And the club now dreams of winning four titles in a row, in order to make this season a historic one.
Paris Saint-Germain meets Lorient this Wednesday evening. A meeting far from trivial in Ligue 1, because Luis Enrique’s players could secure, from now on, a 12th French champion title. To do this, PSG must win at Moustoir and hope that Monaco does not win. But on the PSG side, the question is no longer whether the club will be champion of France, or even when it will be, but whether the Parisians will manage to achieve a historic quadruple.
Because the Champions Trophy is already in the club’s purse and Ligue 1 is just a formality. That leaves the Coupe de France and its final at the end of May against Lyon, and the Champions League, where the next opponent will be Dortmund in the semi-final. To win everything in a single season would be unheard of in France. And in the locker room, we no longer hide the fact that it’s a goal.
“For now, we only have one title”
“Without a doubt, it’s a motivation to do something that has never been done in France, to mark the history of the club,” explains Luis Enrique, PSG coach. “But for now, we only have one title. And we have to continue to fight in the league, because the opponents deserve it. It’s still a long and winding road. We will have to be focused to achieve our goals “, he continues in front of journalists.
A few months ago, PSG was just a sum of individuality. Luis Enrique has made a team, where there is no longer any untouchable, even when your name is Kylian Mbappé. On the ground, the mindset needs to change. And Paris can reasonably believe in this quadruple, as in 2015. But at the time, in the absence of the Champions League, Laurent Blanc and his players had to be content with the defunct Coupe de la Ligue.
