Episode 35: Title Race Back On as PSG Fluff their Lines
from The French Football Show · host Matt Spiro
An eventful season at Strasbourg could now finish in glorious fashion. With the Alsace club through to the semi-finals of both the Europa Conference League and the Coupe de France, Matt, Tom and Andy wonder if Gary O'Neil's charges can make French football history in the next weeks? Rayo Vallecano and OGC Nice stand in their way of reaching two showpiece games. There's plenty to discuss in Ligue 1 as well: PSG's surprise defeat at home to Lyon has opened the door to Lens a little once again in the title race. Pierre Sage's side came from two down to beat ten-man Toulouse and return to within a point of the summit. Can Les Sang et Or repeat the performance against Le Téfécé in Tuesday's cup semi-final - and might their quest for a domestic double still be on? Lyon are now in the driving seat for automatic Champions League qualification. They climbed above Marseille, who lost at Lorient, and Lille, who were held by Nice. It was also a bad weekend for Monaco, as they could only draw at home to Auxerre. Watch out for Rennes, though! They are on the charge under Franck Haise and up to fifth. The half-time entertainment this week takes the form of a 'World Cup Watch' discussion on PSG's fantastic Ecuadorian defender William Pacho. The attackers are getting the attentions, but the formidible centre-half might just be PSG's best and most important recent signing.
