PSG can win Ligue 1 if rival Lens drops points while race for a Champions League spot heats up

PARIS: (May 7) (AP) The Ligue 1 title race is nearing conclusion and Paris Saint-Germain could be crowned champion against Brest if second-placed Lens drops points against Nantes.

PSG leads Lens by six points and both have three games left, including their showdown in Lens on Wednesday. That match was rescheduled from April 11 to aid PSG’s quest for a second straight Champions League title. PSG reached the final on Wednesday after eliminating Bayern Munich.

Next-to-last Nantes will be relegated to Ligue 2 unless it beats Lens on Friday. All other games are on Sunday.
