PSG will have to wait a little longer to fill their trophy cabinet. After the announcement of Warren Zaire-Emery’s extension until 2029, the Parisians had the opportunity to end the evening in style by winning against Le Havre, which would have formalized the crowning of the French champions with the title. With a team reshuffled by Luis Enrique, the semi-finalist of the Champions League finally snatched a draw in the final moments of the match (3-3).
A result which does not yet guarantee him the title of champion of France. Certainly, the capital club continues its unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 in 2024 thanks to goals from Bradley Barcola, Achraf Hakimi and Gonçalo Ramos, but the leader still depends on AS Monaco. Despite this 3-3, the Parisians will be titled without playing on Sunday if AS Monaco does not win against Olympique Lyonnais, 7 p.m. at Groupama Stadium. This is the second time this week that the fate of PSG depends on the Monegasques. After their last success in Lorient (1-4), Kylian Mbappé’s teammates could be champions if the Principality club did not win against Lille, but the only goal from Youssouf Fofana thwarted PSG’s plans.
Despite Les Gones’ renewed form, AS Monaco seems to start as favorite given its current good form (four wins in a row in Ligue 1). Especially since each point is expensive in this final sprint. In addition, Monaco is keen to qualify directly for the next Champions League, without having to go through the play-offs. Currently, the runner-up of the Parisians are six points ahead of 4th Lille.
In the event of a victory for Monaco on Sunday, the Parisians could once again be crowned without playing, again in the event of a misstep by Monaco, this time against Clermont on Saturday May 4. If Monaco continues to win, PSG will have to wait until Sunday 12 against Toulouse, for their next match in Ligue 1.
