- Draw against Angers and PSG failed to win against Brest
- Losing to Angers and at the same time PSG losing to Brest and Monaco failing to win to Lens

- Draw against Brest but Lille lose to Angers and Monaco fail to win against Lens. This result will make PSG superior on goal difference over Lille when the two teams have 80 points.
- Draw against Brest, Lille lose to Angers and Monaco win against Lens. The three teams will have a collection of 80 points and PSG will win on the condition that Monaco is unable to outperform them on goal difference. Currently PSG’s goal difference is +56 while Monaco is +34. Thus, PSG will remain champions from Monaco not winning by 23 goals difference.
3. Monaco will win Ligue 1 if:
