Damn rules.
Passed like a ghost over the 2021-22 season of Paris Saint-Germain, during which he only played nine official minutes, the time of a brief appearance at the Champions Trophy, Layvin Kurzawa will not have the possibility of being crowned champion of France.
Even though PSG is already guaranteed to win Ligue 1, the 29-year-old French side, not called up for the reception of Metz on Saturday evening on the final day (9 p.m.), will therefore not be able to claim a single minute of play in Championship this season.
And as stipulated by the regulations of the Professional Football League (LFP), it cannot therefore be credited with the title which will be celebrated at the Park.
The Parisian group for this last match of the season!

Even Sergio Rico will have the right to it
Never in Mauricio Pochettino's small papers this season, injured, covid or even kept out of the pro group - although under contract until June 2024 since his four-year extension in June 2020 -, Kurzawa will however see Arnaud Kalimuendo or Pablo Sarabia, them, to be sacred.
Loaned to Lens and Sporting Lisbon this season, the two players played two games at the start of the season: 6 minutes for the first, 24 for the second.
Same for Rafinha (5 games), on loan at Real Sociedad, and Sergio Rico (1 game), in Mallorca since this winter.
