Lille Ruins PSG's Hopes
With four matches left, PSG finds itself 5 points behind leaders Montpellier.
Montpellier was good enough to win at Toulouse on Friday, 1-0, but the Parisians dropped all three points at Lille.
Despite going 1-0 up through Pastore's goal, four minutes after the restart, Ancelotti's men could not hold on to the lead. They surrendered a penalty, transformed into a goal by Eden Hazard in minute 71, and soon afterwards, they conceded another one, after a brilliant pass by the same Hazard - Roux (79) the scorer.
PSG has been playing badly of late, and there are no signs that they could pull a perfect run in their last four matches. But, even if they do so, Montpellier would likely have to lose two of theirs, which also looks unlikely.
Wow, Montpellier could be champions! Finally, a small team can win one of the big leagues.

A Hell of a Week for PSG
Paris Saint-Germain failed to get the win again, in front of their home fans, this time in the Ligue 1.
After being ousted by Lyon in the Coupe de France, on Wednesday, Ancelotti's team is now no longer top in the French league, either. The draw against Bordeaux at home put the Parisian team on only 60 points, the same number of points as Montpellier, but the latter has a better goal difference.
Bordeaux also scored first at the Parc des Princes, when Maurice-Belay opened the scoring in the 77th minute, but the lead only lasted roughly four minutes, as prolific forward Hoarau tied the score with a cheeky shot that squeezed beneath the Bordeaux goalkeeper.
Carlo Ancelotti has some serious work to do, apparently.
Lille has also gotten somewhat closer to the leaders, too. They are on 53 points now.

Lille Just Sucks
You know how sometimes there's a team you just can't help but feel sorry for, because their results are so much worse than their efforts deserve? (...Like the total opposite of Man. U....)
Well, this year, out of all the leagues, it's gotta be Lille, from France.
They should have finished second in their Champions League group, if the logical results would have happened. Instead, they could not beat Trabzonspor, at home (0-0), and inter Milan sucked at home, against CSKA (1-2), leaving the French outfit lament their shortcomings: not even a Europa League spot, and just two points away from going through in the CL.
In the French league, they have a team good enough to win the title, which they achieved last season, as a matter of fact. But they keep dropping points at random moments, or in the last minutes of the game, or just simply due to lack of concentration, in many, many games, now.
Today, for example, they lost against Lyon, 1-2, away.
Lyon needed that win to keep alive their hopes of reaching a Champions League spot.
Funnily enough, that spot is currently held by Lille.
I'm willing to bet, however, that they won't still have it for long. It's not lonely in those parts of the French standings: Saint-Etienne, Toulouse, Lyon and Rennes are all now just within 4 points of Lille.
Only a short while ago, Lille was quite comfortable in third, with a game or two (sometimes) in hand.
