Lille can hold off PSG and win Ligue 1, insists Sanches

Renato Sanches has insisted that Lille can hold off Paris Saint-Germain and win Ligue 1 this season.

Lille are currently sitting top of the Ligue 1 standings on 62 points, two clear of defending champions PSG with just ten games remaining.

Christophe Galtier's side can increase their lead by beating Monaco on Sunday, and Sanches insists the whole squad are pulling in the same direction as they bid to clinch the club's first top-flight crown since 2010-11.
