The Parisians face Lyon on Sunday evening for the shock of this 30th day of a Ligue 1 with decidedly breathless suspense.
To dominate the players of Rudi Garcia, also well placed in the title race, they can count on the return of their jewel Neymar, after five weeks of unavailability.
He returns at the best time for Paris Saint-Germain.
Injured for more than a month, Neymar is back in the Parisian group to face Lyon at Groupama Stadium on Sunday evening at 9 p.m.
The 28-year-old Brazilian will start on the bench against Lyonnais, but PSG can once again count on his playmaker, while several non-category passes arise, starting with Lyon, which has the same number of points as the club of the capital (60 points after 29 matches played).
At the beginning of April, it will be necessary to face the Munich colossus, with an expected revenge against Bayern.

Although short of pace (he has not played for five weeks), Neymar has not lost any of his talent.
"I still find him very strong," said midfielder Marco Verratti.
"If he's three, four or five weeks away, he's still the best in training. Technically, he's an incredible player, we're very happy to see him again."
For Pochettino, PSG "has the cards in hand"
With the return of Neymar, PSG records a reinforcement of weight in the mad race for the title in Ligue 1. "I am convinced that we are still in the race for the title", assures the coach, Mauricio Pochettino.
"At the risk of repeating myself, it's a completely different year from previous years. There were factors that greatly affected our performance, but I am convinced and I believe that we still have all the cards in hand to fight . "
But to be champion, Paris, with or without Neymar, must maintain the pace of the Lille leader, who receives the penultimate Sunday, Nîmes (5:05 pm).
And it begins with a victory on Sunday evening, on the lawn of Lyon, an opponent on which PSG has sometimes stumbled in recent years.
