Can PSG Repeat Their Ligue 1 Triumph? Zoumana Camara Issues Cautious Warning
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are once again being hailed as the clear favourites to claim the Ligue 1 title this season. After their dominant display last year, the French champions look poised to continue their supremacy. However, veteran Parisian defender Zoumana Camara has urged caution, reminding fans and players alike that the road to glory is far from guaranteed.
PSG’s strength remains undeniable when they are at their best. The squad boasts exceptional talent across the pitch, and their previous campaign proved their ability to overpower rivals. Yet Camara, speaking on France Bleu, stressed that consistency will be key to maintaining their grip on the championship.
“The title is still very much within our reach,” said Camara. “But the Ligue 1 race won’t be decided by PSG alone. If we lose form, it could become a difficult season.”
Camara highlighted the challenges posed by key contenders Monaco and Saint-Étienne. Despite a sluggish start to their campaign, Monaco remain a formidable threat. Meanwhile, Saint-Étienne’s squad has largely remained intact and strengthened selectively, making them a team to watch.
“Monaco, despite their poor start, will be there,” Camara noted. “Saint-Étienne have a very good team. They haven’t made many changes but have improved in one or two positions.”
He also mentioned Bordeaux as a possible challenger this term, pointing to their promising start and potential to upset the established hierarchy.
“Then there’s Bordeaux, who are starting well. If they keep it up, they could cause some surprises,” Camara added.
Despite the focus on PSG’s rivals, Camara reiterated the importance of the champions maintaining their own standards. For the centre-back, who is aiming to win his third consecutive Ligue 1 title with the club, the main objective remains clear.
“The most important thing is to win our championship,” he concluded.
As PSG prepares for the rest of the season under Laurent Blanc’s management, the pressure will be on to replicate last season’s success. The team’s ability to stay focused and fend off challenges from emerging contenders will determine if they can secure another league crown or face an unexpected battle for the title.
