Monaco celebrated a century of league goals with the win that all but sealed the French title, beating Lille 4-0 on Sunday to leave Paris Saint-Germain needing a spectacular Monaco collapse in order to defend their title.
Monaco lead by three points with a goal difference that is 17 better than that of PSG, and also have a game in hand. PSG need to win their last match and hope Monaco lose their remaining two games by huge margins.
Their top scoroer, Radamel Falcao, scored twice, the attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva added another before a Junior Alonso own goal made it 102 league goals and 153 in all competitions for Monaco.
Monaco can officially raise the trophy with a draw at home to St-Etienne on Wednesday – hardly a fearsome prospect. PSG won 5-0 away to St-Etienne on Sunday, with Edinson Cavani scoring twice to reach 35 league goals. The Brazilian winger Lucas also got two, with Julian Draxler scoring the other.
