Press review: PSG v Liverpool, Ligue 1 title edging closer | OneFootball

This Monday, April 5, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final to be played on Wednesday against Liverpool (return leg on April 14), drawing on last season’s round of 16. There is also Ligue 1, where the title race has clearly swung in PSG’s favor.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

With PSG’s win over Toulouse and Lens’ defeat to Lille, there are now 4 points between the top two, and the Parisians have a game in hand. That is not enough to say it is over, especially since Lens/PSG is still to come. But the gap is significant, especially as the Parisians seem to be in excellent form heading into the end of the season.

We hope for confirmation against Liverpool, a wounded opponent but one to be taken very seriously. Last season, PSG had largely dominated the first leg before losing 0-1. They will need to be just as strong in play, while being efficient this time. That has rather been the case lately, and Paris will need confidence to help. It should be with this starting lineup, unless there is a surprise:

Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué

Neves – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery

Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi

Safonov.
