Jean-Michel Aulas, the president of Lyon, has expressed his perspective on Paris Saint-Germain’s (PSG) chances of winning the Ligue 1 title. In an interview with the JDD, Aulas stated that he believes PSG has a 99.9% chance of being crowned champion, even after the departure of coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Aulas expressed esteem for Laurent Blanc and highlighted PSG’s top-notch recruitment as a key factor in their favor. He also mentioned that Monaco might face more challenges, needing adjustments, particularly since the club has recently ascended from Ligue 2. Additionally, the absence of a stadium equivalent to Parc des Princes may pose a hurdle for Monaco.
Aulas emphasized the need to revitalize Ligue 1 and pointed to financial fair play as a significant factor. He sees it as the last chance for French football to narrow the gap with its foreign competitors and believes the next two years are crucial for this endeavor.
This statement from Aulas reflects a pragmatic view of the competition in Ligue 1 and acknowledges the considerable strength of PSG in the race for the championship.
