‘PSG ready for tough game at Lorient’

PARIS: Paris St Germain could secure their third straight Ligue 1 title on Wednesday if they beat Lorient and second-placed AS Monaco fail to beat LOSC Lille - but manager Luis Enrique is not expecting his struggling opponents to hand them any favours.

Enrique’s side have an 11-point lead over Monaco with five matches remaining, and a much better goal difference having lost just one game. “It’s going to be a very difficult game,” Enrique told reporters on Tuesday. “When you’re at the bottom of the table, you don’t have much to lose.
