Leader of Ligue 1 before facing Monaco on Sunday (5:05 p.m.), as part of the 29th day of the championship, Lille has two points ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, which faces Nantes tomorrow (9 p.m.), and on Lyon, held in check by Reims (1-1) on Friday. Which of these two opponents is more dangerous for LOSC in the title race? In an interview with L’Equipe, Lille midfielder Renato Sanches (23 years old, 16 games and 1 goal in L1 this season) delivers his answer.
“In France, Paris remains the most dangerous opponent,” said the Portuguese, who displays his ambitions: “Can we win the championship? We play for that. Nobody is saying the opposite. It would be great. . But we are still far from it. I feel my team capable of achieving it. In a few matches, if we are still in the final sprint and in the same position, we will probably say to ourselves that we can go to the end. D ‘here, we have to defend our first place. It will be difficult, we are aware of that. “
Fourth at seven points behind Lille, Monaco will have to win against the Mastiffs to hope to join in the fight for the title.
