PSG Eyes Unbeaten Season as Ligue 1 Title Beckons

PARIS, France — Paris Saint-Germain stands on the cusp of a historic achievement as they prepare to host Angers on Saturday, needing only a draw to secure their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title. With seven matches remaining in the season, PSG leads the league with 71 points, holding a commanding 21-point advantage over second-placed AS Monaco.

Coach Luis Enrique expressed his desire to see the team not only crowned champions but also complete the season unbeaten, a feat that has never been achieved in Ligue 1. “Of course, we want to go unbeaten throughout the season,” Enrique said in a press conference on Friday. “We want to be competitive and perform well. We want to improve our records and statistics.”

This potential milestone comes as PSG has remained undefeated throughout the 2024-25 Ligue 1 season, with a current record of 22 wins and five draws. Achieving an unbeaten league season would place them in the elite company of clubs like Arsenal, Juventus, and AC Milan, who have completed seasons without a defeat in their respective leagues.

Enrique acknowledged the significance of his players maintaining focus. “We want to show that we are competitive, and we have been competitive in Europe for many years,” he said. “We want to be an outstanding team on the global stage.”

Looking ahead, PSG has other large goals in sight, including a quarter-final tie in the Champions League against Aston Villa, and a path to the Coupe de France final. Enrique remains optimistic about the team’s chances: “We want to win everything, that’s our goal, to compete, win, and take every single trophy.”

On the brink of securing yet another title, PSG’s pursuit of historical records and glory remains strong. “We are representing France in the Club World Cup; that is an extra source of motivation for us,” Enrique stated. “We changed things and are trying to train in a way that can be reflected in matches.” The club aims to rebound from their past European disappointments and mark their presence on the global stage with a stellar performance this season.
