A pretty poor and drab end to the season where we whimpered into second position and just let PSG grab the title. We were never at the races for the first two games although the Lille game might have been different if we’d been able to play the majority of it with a full 11 players but there is no point dwelling on the past. In the grand scheme of things, PSG won their final 2 games but if we’d beaten Bordeaux things may have been different so ultimately it was the three consecutive draws that meant we didn’t pick up anything this season. To end our poor form against Troyes was something though even if they did take the lead so at least we finished the season on a positive note. In the Coupe de France we did whimper out of that too as we tried to secure that league title but ultimately we perhaps should have put more emphasis on it, because we could have won the competition on another day. To qualify directly for the Champions League though is perfect and exactly what we wanted to do and not having to go through the Qualifying Rounds will give us a full pre-season next season which we will be thankful for. In terms of this summer, we will continue to build on what we have and hopefully come back next year with an even stronger squad.
