By shutting down our computer in the auditorium of the Parc des Princes, we had to face the facts. What was there to remember from a folded match after ten minutes and a penalty combo in favor of PSG + red card against Stade de Reims as well as two barely more exciting post-match press conferences. Three minutes to break everything in front of the microphones for David Guion, the time of a shouting against the "incomprehensible" decision of Clément Turpin and the VAR referees, five or six for Mauricio Pochettino and his punchlines straight out of a book by personal development (like "in football believing is the most important. Anything can happen, fire it burns, blah blah"), and the case was folded.

Better to quickly get away from the only context of this match to avoid dying of boredom.

Especially since there is so much more exciting than Neymar's momentum shot from the penalty spot or the absence of Mitchel Bakker's football IQ: for the first time since 2002, the leader has only one point ahead of his runner-up before the last day.

Better yet, there are always three of them who can dream of lifting the Hexagoal, although it is hard to see AS Monaco doing without the operation of the Holy Spirit.

Get out your calculators, surprise quiz.

The ranking one day from the end

1) Lille: 80 pts (+40)

2) PSG: 79 pts (+56)

3) ASM: 77 pts (+34)

The game's rules

The first team to fill their pie chart with six colored triangles won… Huh?

Not the right game, we are whispered in the headset.

Ah, there you go.

To decide between the three contenders, we take into account, in order: the number of points> the general goal difference> the greatest number of points on direct confrontations> the specific goal difference.

It is certainly a little more complex than part of Trivial Pursuit but we reassure you, a priori the first two boxes will be enough to take a champion out of the crowd.

Lille champion if ...

  • Le Losc beats Angers.

  • Le Losc, PSG and Monaco get the same result.

  • Losc and PSG draw.

  • Le Losc concedes a draw and PSG loses.

The champion PSG if ...

  • Stéphane Moulin leaves a masterclass as a farewell against Lille and Paris draws at least one match in Brest.

  • Le Losc concedes a draw and Paris wins.

Monaco champion if ...

  • ASM wins, Losc and Paris lose + the combined results of Lille and Monegasques put ASM ahead on goal difference (example: Monaco 5-0 victory in Lens and Losc 2-0 defeat in Angers ).

  • Lille loses, PSG concedes a draw and Monaco beats Lens 22-0 (in football you never know, it's Mauricio who says it).

What do the challengers say?

We prune Pochettino's press conferences, but it's basically like a teenager's room: sort it out and you will find good things there. The Argentinian coach of Paris Saint-Germain believes in the madness of this sport and knows he is at the mercy of Angers, but does not want to hear about any psychological ascendancy over the Mastiffs, whose situation is still reminiscent of that of Lens 19 years earlier. “The points advantage is real. The psychological advantage does not exist. […] It is clear that when you play under pressure, it is better to have experienced players. But I think Lille like PSG have these experienced players. It is for this reason that [psychological ascendancy] is difficult to measure. "

As for Niko Kovac, for mathematical reasons that you now know, he prefers to talk about the fight for the Champions League.

A fight in which OL (one point less) still has a say.

“We have 77 points and we still have to fight for the podium.

It shows how complicated the championship is, ”said the Croatian.

And to evoke another battle in common with the PSG.

“Paris is now the most important game for us,” and Paris cannot afford the luxury of snubbing the Coupe de France final.

On Wednesday, the two contenders will leave feathers in flight.

For the benefit of the faltering leader?
