Quarantine lasted four months in one of the TOP-5 leagues in Europe. The federation decided to end the championship and Paris Saint-Germain received an early title of champion, which would hardly have given in any scenario. The winner of the 2019/20 French Cup will be determined by sport. PSG went their way to Saint-Denis in one breath, outplaying Linas-Montleri (6: 0), Lorient (1: 0), Po (2: 0), Dijon (6: 1) and Lyon (5: 1). The Metropolitan Club has won this trophy 12 times, most recently in 2018. In addition, PSG continues to play in the Champions League, where they knocked out Borussia Dortmund from the tournament in the 1/8 finals with a score of 3:2 on aggregate. In the championship ended ahead of schedule, the “blue-red” won 22 wins, which brought 68 points, which is 12 more than the nearest pursuer. During the tournament, hosts scored 75 goals and the best snipers in the team were Mbappe (18 goals) and Neymar (13 goals). In July Thomas Tuchel’s wards played three friendly matches, in which they did not concede, but for the sake of truth it is worth noting that Le Havre (9: 0) or Wasland-Beveren (7: 0) would hardly have become worthy opponents for the champion … Before today’s match the entire core team is in order and ready to enter the field.
Juventus continues to hold the lead in the championship and, as such, the old lady has no competitors in the fight for the Scudetto. Maurizio Sarri’s team is six points ahead of the second Atalanta, but at the same time they have not yet played their fight in the 35th round. Inter and Lazio are seriously behind and make mistakes on a regular basis, but theoretically the Nerazzurri can still cause problems. After a spectacular 4-1 win in the derby over Torino, Juventus gave up serious football in the next three games. In the 31st round, the old lady allowed Milan to make an enchanting comeback, losing 2: 4, then points were lost in the fights with Atalanta (2: 2) and Sassuolo (3: 3), although in opposition with Bergamasks, Juve rather gained than lost. In the last round, Juventus had no problems with Lazio. Scoring twice after the break with the efforts of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Italian champion allowed the Romans to respond with only a prestige goal in the end. Thus, the unsuccessful series was done away with, but competitors did not take advantage of these errors either.
