PSG One Step Away from Securing the Title

The team, under the guidance of Luis Enrique, triumphed over Lorient with a score of 4-1 during the 30th matchday of Ligue 1. Although PSG hoped to clinch the title following this match, they needed Monaco to lose against Lille, which did not happen as Monaco faced a 1-0 defeat, leaving PSG with a significant 11-point lead and only four matchdays remaining.

Star Performances Despite Key Absences

Ousmane Dembelè and Kylian Mbappe each scored twice in the game against Lorient, showcasing their skill and filling the void left by Marquinhos, Hakimi, and Vitinha, who were rested by Luis Enrique. Mbappe continues to lead as the top scorer of the championship with 26 goals.

Record-Breaking Away Game Streak

PSG has set a new Ligue 1 record with their 22nd match without an away defeat, surpassing the previous record held by Olympique Lyonnais. The last away defeat for PSG was over a year ago, marking a formidable period of 438 days without a loss on foreign grounds.

Upcoming Title Match and Potential Quadruple

PSG could officially secure the championship title in their upcoming match against Lorient, scheduled five days before the season's end. This match was postponed due to PSG's Champions League quarter-final against FC Barcelona. Luis Enrique, aiming for a historic quadruple victory, emphasizes the importance of staying focused to achieve all set objectives.

Lorient's Struggle and Previous Encounter

Currently 17th in the standings, Lorient is battling for survival in the top tier of French football. They previously managed a draw against PSG in their first encounter of the season, a match that Kylian Mbappe missed. The upcoming rematch at the Moustoir stadium holds significant stakes for both teams.
