Paris Saint-Germain could win Ligue 1 if they beat Saint-Etienne and other results go their way, and Luis Enrique is keen to keep their momentum going.

Unbeaten PSG have a 19-point lead over second-place Marseille with eight matches to go, leaving them on the verge of their fourth straight Ligue 1 title.

PSG need to beat Saint-Etienne on Saturday and hope Marseille lose, while Monaco and Nice, the teams in third and fourth, also drop points.

If that scenario plays out, PSG will ensure their 11th league title since 2012-13 and their second straight crown under Luis Enrique. 

PSG have not lost any of their 26 games in Ligue 1 2024-25 (W21 D5) and could become just the third side to remain unbeaten in each of their first 27 encounters of a top-flight season, after Nantes in 1994-95 (32) and PSG themselves in 2015-16 (27).

"We're never champions until it's mathematically a foregone conclusion. But we're the best team in Ligue 1," Luis Enrique told reporters on Friday. 

"We're going to use this moment so that these eight games can be used for more global objectives."

The Spaniard, who previously led Barcelona to a treble by winning LaLiga, Champions League and Copa del Rey titles in 2015, has an opportunity to repeat the feat this year.

PSG face Dunkerque in the Coupe de France semi-final on Tuesday and have a two-legged Champions League quarter-final against Aston Villa, with the first leg taking place at home on April 9 before travelling to Villa Park for the second on April 15.

"We need to be ready for the two or three months of competition," he added.

PSG reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season before losing to Borussia Dortmund, but are looking to retain their Coupe de France title, having beaten Lyon in the final last season. 

Luis Enrique said PSG were fully motivated ahead of their visit to relegation-threatened Saint-Etienne, who sit 17th in the table, one point below Le Havre, who have played a game more.

Saint-Etienne were closing in on their first win since January when they were 2-0 up at bottom side Montpellier on March 16, but the match was abandoned after home fans threw flares onto the pitch and part of a stand caught fire.

PSG are on a 27-game unbeaten streak against Saint-Etienne in all competitions (D6 L21). Only twice in their history have PSG ever enjoyed a longer such run (Angers - 30 since 1976) and Brest (32 since 1985).

"We're playing away against a historic French club. There's a very powerful atmosphere in the stadium," Luis Enrique said. 

"We love these atmospheres of football and passionate people. It's very motivating for us. I hope there won't be any problems."
