1.Experience

Paris Saint Germain have a lot of experienced players who have gone through such a situation before . During the Zlatan era at PSG , 2013/14 and 2015/16 were the two seasons where the Rouge et Bleu won the title with a lot of ease and superiority . But the 2014/15 season was quite similar to the position PSG are in, now.

PSG had a weak start to the season drawing 5 of their games , and they were sitting five points behind classico rivals Olympique Marseille . They started the second half of the campaign with a 4-2 loss to SC Bastia,  which saw them fall behind Lyon in the title race . But the team seemed to be determined after thathttp://www.skysports.com/ligue-1-table/2014 .

A series of consecutive wins saw them take the top spot with eight games yet to play . Many players from that team like Thiago Silva ,  Blaise Matuidi, Thiago Motta , Maxwell , Verratti, to name a few, are still present in the current squad and know what is needed in order to overcome current leaders Monaco and regain top spot in Ligue 1,  having missed many opportunities to do the same previously.
