Three teams separated by three points with one game to play – Can Lille hold on and end Paris St-Germain’s dominance?

PSG have won Ligue 1 seven times in the previous eight seasons – Monaco were champions in 2016-17 – but start the final day on 79 points, one behind leaders Lille.

Last season, PSG were awarded the title after it was announced the season would not resume because of the coronavirus pandemic. they were 12 points clear of nearest rivals Marseille, who had 10 games left.

Lille needs a win not not else to secure the league one title since 2011. On Sunday, this fascinating title race could still see the top three all finish on 80 points if Lille lose, PSG draw and Monaco, who start third on 77 points, win.

Unlike in Spain, goal difference would decide the title. That would favour Mauricio Pochettino’s PSG, who have a far superior advantage on their two title rivals.

Lille takes on 12th place Angers in an away game while Paris St Germain visit 16th place Brest and Monaco has a huge mountain to climb when they take on 6th place Lens who are fighting for a Europa spot. Monaco could only win the league if both Lille and PSG lose they game with a big win because of an inferior goal difference.

“Although we don’t have a Neymar or Mbappe or superstars on massive wages who can score 20 or 30 goals a season, we have a team,” Lille Captain Jose Fonte said.
