PSG rule France but Europe their final frontier

WITH a 10th Ligue 1 title in the last 12 seasons, Paris St Germain have made their dominance in French football a matter of routine rather than a contest.

Their 24-point lead over Monaco with six games left means they have sealed this season’s title and tells the story of a club operating on a different planet to their rivals, a machine fine-tuned for relentless success on home soil.

Luis Enrique’s side have been ruthless, their 6-1 mauling of St Etienne eight days ago yet another flex of their muscles, a statement that, even with change, their grip on French football remains iron-clad.

The victory against Les Verts extended their unbeaten away run to 38 games, a feat matched in the top five European leagues only by AC Milan from 1991-93; and while Saturday’s 1-0 win against Angers was not impressive, it wrapped up the inevitable.
