Paris: Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim has called for one final push in dethroning Paris Saint-Germain of the Ligue 1 title.
After Sunday’s 4-0 home win over Lille, Monaco lead the reigning champions by three points — and have a game in hand against Saint-Etienne on Wednesday — ahead of next weekend’s final round of matches, but their vastly superior goal difference all but guarantees them an eighth French league crown.
“Before the match we needed four points. Now we need just one,” said Jardim, with the Portuguese leaving nothing to chance. “We’ll keep working hard until the end. On Wednesday we need to pick up the points to win the title.”
“We had to be careful (against Lille) and we were. I’m asking for one final effort on Wednesday.”
