What Does PSG Need to Do to Be Champions This Saturday, April 5th?
The Parc des Princes could witness another Ligue 1 title celebration this Saturday when Paris Saint-Germain hosts Angers SCO. On paper, it looks like a routine match: PSG sits comfortably at the top of the table, while Angers is in 14th place, fighting to avoid relegation. However, in football, nothing is guaranteed—especially when a team is desperate for points to survive.
The Championship Math
With only seven matches left in the season, the only team that still has a mathematical chance of catching PSG is Monaco. For the club from the Principality to pull off an unlikely comeback, they would need to:
- Win all their remaining matches
- Drastically reduce their goal difference deficit
- Hope that PSG loses every single game
Let’s be honest—that's not happening. Instead, PSG only needs one point against Angers to secure the title. A draw or a win would be enough to officially crown them champions and shift their focus to the Champions League.
What If PSG Loses?
Even in the unlikely event of a PSG loss, they could still claim the title just a couple of hours later. It all depends on the match between Monaco and Brest at Stade Francis-Le Blé. Brest has been one of the surprise teams of the season and remains in contention for a European spot, meaning they won’t make things easy for Monaco.
If Monaco drops any points in their match, PSG will be crowned champions regardless of their result against Angers.
