PSG is the dominant force in French football. Les Parisiens have won nine of the last 11 Ligue 1 titles. They could make it 10 out of the last 12 with a point against Le Havre on Saturday night.

Despite this, here at PSG Post, we explain why Luis Enrique doesn't need to go full strength for this weekend's game.

1. They have enough time to wrap up the title

PSG has four games to get the point needed to clinch the league title. Their remaining fixtures are against Le Havre, Toulouse, Nice, and Metz.

Out of those four teams, only Nice is in the top five, while Metz and Le Havre are in the thick of a relegation battle, and 11th place Toulouse have been off the pace for a few weeks.

Luis Enrique has a squad brimming with so much talent that even if he fields a B team, they should still pick up at least a point in one of those four games.

2. Huge Champions League clash against Dortmund

Les Parisiens have a rematch against Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

When these two last met in the group stage of the Champions League, Luis Enrique's side won 2-0 at home and drew 1-1 in Germany.

These two games will make or break PSG's season as this is the trophy they have wanted the most under Qatari ownership. If Enrique goes strong, he could run the risk of an injury to a key player such as Kylian Mbappe or Ousmane Dembele.
