Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), like a shining star in the Ligue 1 fixtures, beat Auxerre away from home in the early hours of Monday morning (22nd) by a narrow margin of 2-1. With only two rounds left in the league, PSG is already six points ahead of second-placed Lens and has a goal difference of 16, giving it a 99.9% chance of winning the title. With only one more point in the remaining matches, PSG will "nominally" lock up the title.
It's worth noting that the last time PSG beat Auxerre on the road was 15 years ago. However, this time around, the match started with a fantastic win. Kilian McBarbie scored in the 6th minute and then again in the 8th minute off an assist from Lionel Messi to make it 2-0, and although Auxerre pulled a goal back in the 51st minute, PSG still hold a 2-1 lead. Currently, PSG is 6 points ahead of Lens, and the two teams have equal results in their historical meetings. PSG has a clear goal difference advantage, and it is almost an impossible task for Lens to turn the situation around.
