Galtier’s (im)possible mission – All 38 wins in Ligue 1

It is not easy to motivate a dressing room full of world stars every weekend, such as Paris Saint-Germain. Saints coach Christophe Galtier is also aware that concentration will decrease as the advantage in the table grows, and objectively, it grows. PSG like this will, have an easy stroll to another French title, so the new coach came up with an interesting way to motivate his chosen ones. He and Luis Campos set the goal of breaking Nantes’ record from 1995, that is, of the Parisians becoming the first club in the history of French football to finish the season without defeat. It would be ideal – with 38 wins.🔙🏟️ #LOSCPSG Relive our fantastic victory during the last trip to Lille (1-5) 🔥 pic.twitter.com/cczTszc8Ho— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) August 20, 2022 They are doing well so far. With two convincing victories in the first two rounds (Clermont 5:0 and Montpellier 5:2), they became the first team since Reims in 1961 to score 10 goals in the opening two matches. They followed up on their success in the French Super Cup, in which they beat Nantes 4:0. This week, the Parisians face the first slightly difficult task, as they host Lille, the champion from 2021. The Danes then won a sensational title led by Galtier. Lille have beaten PSG in just two of their last 20 meetings, led by Galtier.Second attack on Skriniar begins, PSG directors are in MilanLille opened the season solidly, defeating Auxerre 4:1, and then drew 1:1 away to Nantes. However, what is worrying for them is the fact that they never saved their goal, that is, if we count last season as well, they tied six championship games in which they conceded at least one goal. Against a team like PSG, it can be disastrous. What’s ever worse for the visiting team, the Parisians have scored at least one goal in every match (friendlies included) since March 20th.Auxerre is the tenth club in the 27-year-old Senegalese veteran’s journeyPSG’s goal is 38 wins or at least 38 games without defeat. That has never happened to anyone. The closest was Nantes in the 1994/1995 season, they were unbeaten for 32 rounds, but were stopped in the 33rd. In the end, the Canaries won the title with 21 wins, 16 draws and one loss, i.e. 10 points more than the second-placed Olympique Lyonnais and 12 more than PSG, which was third. In the Leagues of Five, at least in recent history, only two clubs managed to finish a season undefeated. Arsenal in 2004 and Juventus in the 2011/2012 season.LIGUE 1 – MATCHDAY 3FridayLyon – Troyes 4-1 (1-1)/Lacazette 3, Tagliafico 47, Tete 49, 75 – Tardieu 39/SaturdayMonaco – Lens 1-4 (1-2)/Badiashile 41 – Openda 7, Machado 38, Fofana 55 pen, Said 78/Olympique Marseille – Nantes 2-1 (0-0)/Mbemba 70, Pallios (og) 82 – Blas 78/Sunday 14.00: (1.85) Strasbourg (3.50) Reims (5.00)16.00: (3.80) Clermont (3.50) Nice (2.10)16.00: (2.20) Montpellier (3.35) Auxerre (3.35)16.00: (2.05) Toulouse (3.50) Lorient (3.90)16.00: (2.45) Angers (3.30) Brest (3.15)18.05: (1.45) Rennes (4.50) Ajaccio (8.50)21.45: (6.75) Lille (4.40) PSG (1.48)***odds are subject to change
