#2 Below par Ligue 1 campaign
Trending
Before every season, it’s almost a given that PSG will finish the season as Ligue 1 champions. They had done it four years in a row, and most people had backed them to win it again (including myself and various other notable pundits). But this season, it’s been a completely different kettle of fish.
On one hand, Monaco have been outstanding throughout the season and will go down as deserving champions, but PSG dropped too many silly points across the season that probably would have won them the league. Home draws to St. Etienne, Marseille, Toulouse and Nice along with away defeats to Toulouse, Guingamp, Montpellier and a vital game a few weeks ago at Nice where they simply imploded; it has not been good enough for Paris Saint-Germain.
It’s easy to sit here now and say “they should have won here” but PSG do not drop points away to Montpellier. They even failed to beat Toulouse this season, and without being disrespectful to a good Toulouse side, PSG should have enough quality to put them away at least once.
Next season will be huge for PSG in Ligue 1 because they need to win it more than they ever have done in the QSI regime.
