"Desire Doue's 82nd-minute winner sealed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Brest on Sunday. In Luis Enrique's 100th Ligue 1 game in charge, his team left it late but restored their six-point cushion over Lens, ahead of their top-of-the-table clash next week. A point from PSG's final two matches will now secure the crown, although realistically, their lead looks unlikely to be overturned even with two defeats, given Lens would also need a 15-goal swing to go in their favour."
"PSG's much-changed lineup flew out of the blocks and only a fingertip save from visiting goalkeeper Gregoire Coudert stopped Lucas Hernandez's fizzing drive from distance nestling into the top-right corner. The hosts continued to push for the opening goal without reward, though Renato Marin had to be on his toes to smother Raphael Le Guen's attempt from inside the penalty area. Luis Enrique was forced to turn to his bench on the hour and introduce both Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, though it was Senny Mayulu who came the closest to opening the scoring, when his curling shot from the edge of the box hit both the crossbar and the left post."
"Joao Neves then poked over the crossbar as PSG searched for a winner, and it came eight minutes from time thanks to another substitute in Doue, who cut inside from the left before picking out the bottom-right corner with a fine finish. Brest almost equalised immediately after kick-off when Neves was dispossessed by Hugo Magnetti, but the captain's shot was pushed to safety by Marin as PSG held on.

"Data Debrief: PSG on the brink of glory Only Lyon (seven between 2001-02 and 2007-08) have previously won five consecutive Ligue 1 titles, but PSG are on the brink of equalling that tally with a six-point lead and a +15 goal"
PSG beat Brest 1-0 with Desire Doue scoring in the 82nd minute to secure a hard-fought victory. The win came in Luis Enrique’s 100th Ligue 1 match as PSG made changes to the lineup and struggled to break through early. Lucas Hernandez’s shot was nearly scored, and Renato Marin made key saves to keep Brest out. PSG pressed for a goal without reward until substitutions shifted the game. Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia were introduced, and Senny Mayulu struck the crossbar and left post. Joao Neves also tested the frame before Doue’s finish restored PSG’s six-point cushion over Lens. PSG can clinch the title with a point from their final two matches.
