PSG was one of the all-time favorites to win the Ligue 1 title but this season I don't want to say anything beforehand because the Ligue 1 title could go beyond PSG this season. If they return to the performance that PSG performed in the beginning, it will be challenging for them to be number one to five in the points table. Closing the gap to 2 points with Monaco is not a difficult task for PSG but whether they can maintain their consistency like this is a big challenge for PSG now. PSG already have no major achievements so if they lose the Ligue 1 title this season they will be heavily criticized as a club. Of course they will have to try to retain the Ligue 1 title this season.
In about four weeks from now Monaco will be playing against PSG and until then we will first see whether both teams are able to win their games and not drop any points, and besides that we may also see that PSG can extend a potential lead in the table with the game against their competitor Monaco. While I think that PSG has always some reserves in the tank and can go harder if they have to, I don't know if Monaco can do that for a whole season and also increase intensity and improve their game when PSG takes the issue seriously. It will be about Monaco to keep winning not only a few games in a row, but to win and win and win. Lens had 84 points last season and was not the champion, can Monaco go for 85 points?
