Paris Saint-Germain, the last benefit received this season - Reims won the third-last in Ligue 1

At present, there is still suspense in the titles of the five major leagues. However, as Inter Milan was tied by Lazio at the last moment at home, the initiative in the championship was still firmly held by Napoli, even though they were tied by Parma in this round. In the last round, Naples can win the championship by defeating Cagliari. Inter Milan must count on Cagliari to create miracles.

Speaking of which, it was all caused by Inter Milan's two consecutive league losses during the Champions League semi-finals. Originally, they had the initiative in their hands, but they gave in at such a critical moment. To be honest, on the eve of the Champions League championship, if you can win the league championship first, it will indeed have a positive driving effect on morale. Now, Inter Milan is likely to go to Allianz and Paris Saint-Germain to play the Champions League final with the regret of losing the Serie A championship. The spirits of both sides are completely different.

Inter Milan really wants to envy Paris Greater. The competitive ecology of Serie A is definitely more intense than that of Ligue 1. Ligue 1 is the earliest league with the championship suspense ending this season. A long time ago, Paris Saint-Germain could almost devote all its energy to the Champions League. It can be said that Ligue 1 provides the best conditions and even guarantees for Paris Saint-Germain to compete in the Champions League. Other teams are not capable of fighting on the third line, but Paris Saint-Germain is easy to fight on the third line.

By the way, Paris Saint-Germain is still the only team that has a chance to win the triple-champion this season.

Don't forget that before the Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain will have a French Cup final to play. This is the second puzzle piece of the Triple Crown. Compared with Barcelona who had to defeat Real Madrid to win the Copa del Rey championship, Paris Saint-Germain's French Cup final was reduced by more than three squares - their opponent was Reims.

In terms of strength, both sides are not at the same level. As long as they perform normally, it will be no problem for Paris Saint-Germain to win the championship. Moreover, we can also say that Reims ended up being third from the bottom of Ligue 1, the last benefit Paris Saint-Germain received this season.

Why do you say so?

Now, Paris Saint-Germain is only waiting for the French Cup final and the Champions League final, and there is no other thing to do with energy. But what about Lance? Since they won the third-last in Ligue 1, according to the rules, they will also play in the promotional playoffs with Metz in Ligue 2. And by chance, the French Cup final was just between these two rounds of play-offs.

Give an inappropriate example. At that time, Inter Milan played in the Champions League semi-finals and played a Serie A game between two rounds. Although an ordinary Serie A game is definitely not as important as the Champions League semi-finals, Inter Milan and Naples are competing for the championship, and every Serie A game may affect the championship situation. So, that league game really feels a bit messy.

And for Reims, do you think the French Cup final is important, or is it important to upgrade to the playoffs? I feel that staying in Ligue 1 seems more important. Therefore, no matter how big the gap in strength between Reims and Paris Saint-Germain is, even if you only look at this devil schedule, it will be a huge torture for Reims.

But on the other hand, isn't it a benefit to have a distraction in the finals? If Lance is not the third to last, but the second to last, and the last, and is directly transferred to the French Ligue 2, then they can go lightly and concentrate on playing the French Cup final, which is difficult for such a team. Isn’t it Stuttgart vs. German C team Bielefeld in the German Cup final? In the final last season, Leverkusen only defeated the German second division team Kaiserslautern 1-0, which is really not easy.

It was precisely because Reims won the third from the bottom that he forced himself to play, and it happened to be around the French Cup final, so the difficulty of winning the Paris Saint-Germain was reduced by one level. Perhaps, this season really belongs to Paris Saint-Germain, and their fortunes are so good.
