Paris Saint-Germain could wrap up the Ligue 1 title as early as next week, which would secure the first trophy of what they hope will be a historic treble after their comeback victory over Barcelona in the Champions League.

Luis Enrique's men host a resurgent Lyon on Sunday, knowing victory may give them the chance to clinch the title with four games to spare when they visit Lorient on Wednesday.

PSG's win against Barca set up a semifinal meeting with Borussia Dortmund as they continue to chase a maiden Champions League triumph, while they will also face Lyon in the French Cup final on May 25.

Kylian Mbappe, who is set to leave the club at the end of the season, scored twice in the 4-1 second-leg win at Barca on Tuesday and urged his teammates not to get carried away.

"We have to stay focused and to stay on track towards our goal," Mbappe told PSG TV.

"I want to help my team. The truth is, I always want to help the team. We are in a period where every detail counts and it's true that goals help, but not only that.

"I want to contribute on both sides of the field, to try to help the team as much as possible. To give everything and have no regrets."

PSG were on track to win Ligue 1 comfortably last season, but a series of stumbles meant they only secured the title with one match to spare and eventually finished just one point ahead of second-placed Lens.

The capital club will be keen to avoid any such slip-ups this term, but will face a tough test against a Lyon side who have been transformed from relegation-threatened strugglers to European challengers under Pierre Sage.

A 4-3 victory over second-placed Brest last weekend moved Lyon within two points of sixth-placed Lens and the Europa Conference League spot.
