Ligue 1 Preview: PSG v Montpellier

With the Ligue 1 crown already wrapped up, the capital club turned their attention to achieving a new benchmark for the amount of points claimed in a Ligue 1 season, which stood at 84.

And they achieved it with one game to spare thanks to a 3-1 win at UEFA Champions League-chasing Lille last week, which moved them to 86 with a final three to play for.

Although they were knocked out in the quarter-finals of Europe's premier club competition for the second year in a row, this campaign has represented a step forward for the Parisian outfit.

While midfielder Yohan Cabaye appears set to miss with an ankle injury, he will be buoyed by his selection in France's preliminary FIFA World Cup squad.

PSG team-mates Lucas Digne and Blaise Matuidi joined him in Didier Deschamps' party.
