This Sunday evening from 20:45, PSG challenges Auxerre at the Abbé-Deschamps stadium. After the victory of Lens in Lorient (1-3) this Sunday late afternoon, the club of the capital can not win the title of champion of France mathematically. But get closer. If he wins, he would maintain a six-point lead with two rounds to go before the end of the championship. It would therefore be virtually sacred because of its goal difference largely in its favor.
At kick-off, Paris scored fifteen more goals. On the other hand, a defeat in Burgundy would revive the title race, with only three points ahead of Franck Haise's men. For this very important match, Christophe Galtier has chosen to renew his 3-5-2. Achraf Hakimi suspended after his expulsion against Ajaccio on Saturday, May 13, it is Warren Zaire-Emery who will start the game as a right piston. The young midfielder of 17 years has already punctually helped in this position.
For the rest, it's classic. Captain Marquinhos, officially extended until 2028, will be in a defence commanded by Sergio Ramos with Danilo Pereira on the left. The piston on this side will be as usual Juan Bernat since the end of the season for injury of Nuno Mendes, who joined in the infirmary Neymar, Presnel Kimpembe and Nordi Mukiele.

In the middle, the pair Marco Verratti - Fabian Ruiz will be responsible for protecting the defense and feeding good balls to the attacking trio: playmaker Leo Messi, free striker Kylian Mbappé and centre-forward Hugo Ekitike. The Bondynois delivers a match in the match with the desire to regain his distance in the scoring ranking. This Friday against Monaco (3-1), Lyon participated in the victory by scoring a goal. He has 26 units, as many as the captain of the France team. Auxerre, 16th before the match, is only one length behind Nantes, first relegation.
The composition of PSG: Donnarumma - Marquinhos, Ramos, Danilo Pereira - Zaire-Emery, Verratti, Ruiz, Bernat - Messi - Mbappe, Ekitike.
