Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Marquinhos… The Parisian bench looked good on Saturday, during PSG-Clermont (1-1). Luis Enrique had in fact made a large turnover for this last match before the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League against Barça on Wednesday. 11 changes from the team that started in the victory against Rennes in the Coupe de France last Wednesday. Remember that the capital club has a solid lead at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. The Rouge et Bleu therefore had no form of pressure on Saturday evening, other than that of avoiding an injury. Clearly, priority was given to the C1. And this allowed Clermontois to grab a point at the Parc des Princes. Who can blame the Parisians? Competitors of the CF63 for maintenance for example, such as the HAC.
In this case, the president of Le Havre took the trouble to speak on the L’Equipe website on Saturday evening. “It is an expression of immense contempt for the French Championship. I sent a text message to Ligue 1 to express to them how I feel about seeing PSG not caring about the French Championship. Apparently all this is validated by a lot of people. It’s making fun of the world,” swears the leader of the Normandy team, 14th in the standings with seven points more than Clermont, bottom red (28 points against 21), after their draw on the field of Lens (1 -1) earlier this Saturday. A priori, the Clermontois therefore have little chance of catching up with Le Havre.
