Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is poised to secure their 12th Ligue 1 title with a victory against relegation-threatened Lorient on Wednesday, coupled with AS Monaco dropping points against Lille.
The potential title triumph coincides with speculation surrounding Kylian Mbappé’s imminent departure, as reports suggest he plans to join Real Madrid once his PSG contract expires.
Despite a comfortable 11-point lead with five matches remaining, PSG’s ambitions extend beyond domestic success. They are set to face Lyon in the French Cup final and have progressed to the Champions League semifinals against Borussia Dortmund.
Manager Luis Enrique has acknowledged the possibility of a quadruple-winning season, including the French Super Cup triumph in January, as he and his squad prepare for the challenges ahead.
“The quadruple? Of course we talk about it. It’s a motivation,” Luis Enrique told a news conference. “It is a way of writing the club’s history and the city’s history. But the most important thing is not what we win but how we win, how we play.
“We have eight games left, hopefully nine and we will put the same commitment in all of them.
“It’s motivating us. For the moment, we have one title [the French Super Cup]. We need to win the league and continue to fight in Ligue 1 to respect the other clubs.
After, we will have the French Cup final against Lyon [on May 25], a special game. It is a long and sinuous road. We will have to be very focused at this end of the season.”
