The 2021-22 season in the French top-flight enters its decisive stage, as a combination of results could give Paris Saint-Germain one more title.
Things will get going on Friday with a clash that will have serious implications in the end result of the league. Third-placed Rennes will welcome the sixth-ranked team, Monaco, with this being one of the last chances for Philippe Clement's men to finish the season among the top four.
Nevertheless, the big game of the weekend will feature PSG and Marseille, in what could be labeled as the ultimate showdown and the last chance for Marseille to keep the title race alive. A win here for PSG would get them 15 points away from their rivals, while a victory for Marseille could blow the title race wide open with six games left for each team.
It is important to mention that this will not be the only matchday that will take place in the coming week, as the French top-flight. There will be a new batch of games being played on April 20, and those games will be even more relevant for the outcome of the competition due to the short time that is left to determine a winner.
Let's have a look at how things look like in the French top-flight ahead of a busy week.
Top five teams in Ligue 1 ahead of Matchday 32
PSG will enter their next games with everything to play for, as two more wins for Les Parisiens could get them closer than ever to the title. Marseille are second, but the 12-point gap between them and the league leaders makes it almost impossible for them to catch up with Pochettino's team. Rennes could secure a spot among the top five if they can manage to win two games this week, while Strasbourg and Nice are still going toe-to-toe for a top-four finish.
