I agree that we are talking about Lens being a great team this season so far, but they are only one point ahead of PSG and feeling like PSG will not let the season end this way. Sure Lens could be second place and that would be good for them, even second place in this league is a huge success for Lens and that is why they should be happy about it. That is a lot of money, for both the position they end at the end of the season and also UCL entry, all of which will be great money but expecting them to win is too much.
their success this season is truly remarkable, especially considering they are competing against a giant club like PSG. Their one point lead is truly commendable. Recently Lens won 2 - 0 to reclaim their top spot in Ligue 1 and after 16 rounds they are one point ahead of the defending champions PSG which is truly extraordinary for a smaller club. However I think it might be premature to say that Lens will ultimately win the competition. PSG has a wealth of experience, squad depth and historical achievements that are within their reach
The hallmark of Lens season has been their consistency and team chemistry, which has helped them secure crucial victories, it is not just a matter of luck. Therefore finishing second and exceeding expectations would be a significant and meaningful achievement for Lens especially in terms of UCL qualification and other aspects. However whether they can keep PSG behind for the entire season seems doubtful. PSG did not become champions for no reason and although this season is very competitive they are still considered the overall favorites
