They achieved this championship with peace of mind. Despite having started with two victories in the first five dates, after a defeat vs. Nice (2-3) in September did not lose again. Of 31 dates they won 20, tied 10 and lost the remaining one and accumulated 76 goals for and 29 conceded. An abysmal difference with Monaco, the surprising Brest that is third and the rest.

Although in France they affirm that they will not talk about the subject while there is the possibility of a PSG Champions final against the Merengues who are on the other side of the vs. Bayern Munich.

After saying goodbye to Lionel Messi in a two-year story that had little love and whistles from fans, PSG rearmed with a strong coach like Luis Enrique and many reinforcements because Neymar had also left after six seasons.

That’s why the sheikh spent 455 million euros to reinforce himself with Ousmane Dembele (Barcelona), Randal Kolo Muani (Eintracht Frankfurt), Lucas Hernandez (Bayern), Goncalo Ramos (Benfica), Manuel Ugarte (Sporting Lisbon), Marco Asensio (Real Madrid), Milan Skriniar (Inter) or Bradley Barcola (Lyon) renewed the face and enthusiasm of a team that is now going all out for the Champions League final.
