PSG's path to the title has been nearly assured for weeks. Their potential crowning was delayed last weekend only because Monaco secured a victory against Nice. With 71 points already accumulated, PSG is set to surpass their points total from last season (76) and has already exceeded the title-winning point tallies of several past champions with games to spare.
Manager Luis Enrique, while acknowledging the title is effectively won, insists on maintaining focus and competitiveness in the remaining league matches. These games serve as crucial preparation for the Champions League clashes against Aston Villa (April 9th and 15th) and the Coupe de France final.
The team is also chasing the historic feat of becoming the first French team to go an entire league season undefeated, a record even legendary teams from Saint-Étienne, Marseille, and Lyon never achieved.
For the match against Angers, Enrique is expected to rotate the squad slightly, resting some key players ahead of the midweek European fixture. Players like Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola might start on the bench, giving opportunities to others like Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia alongside Gonçalo Ramos upfront. Marquinhos is expected to start despite being suspended for the upcoming Villa match. Angers, struggling in 14th place and battling relegation fears, face a monumental task against the league leaders.
