Claim 2: “PSG have not yet secured the title and cannot afford to drop points, especially as Lens, second and just six points behind, are still very much in the race.”
DISPUTED
The claim states that PSG has not secured the title and Lens is six points behind and in contention. However, one web search result contradicts this, stating that 'And with a six-point lead over Lens with four matches remaining and a superior goal difference, PSG now have a 99.4% chance of winning Ligue 1' (web_search 3). This strongly suggests PSG is highly likely to win the title, contradicting the premise that they 'cannot afford to drop points' or that Lens is still a serious contender.
