Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have sealed their first Ligue 1 title of the season, securing a record-extending ninth crown in the process. The French giants were well on their way to victory before the final day of the campaign, with the defending champions already guaranteed top spot after a 2-1 win over Strasbourg at the Parc des Princes. But Paris had to hold onto that lead against Nice, who were determined to avoid relegation. In the end, PSG held on to take the title by four points from second-placed Monaco, who lost 4-0 to Marseille. Lille also secured a top-four finish but will not qualify for the Champions League this season, having finished fourth in the group stage. It was a disappointing result for the Nord-Pas-de-Calais club, who were hoping to secure European football for the first time since 2015. However, they can still look forward to next season's competition, which will be a tough one for any team looking to make it into Europe's elite club tournament. Overall, it has been a successful season for PSG, who have continued to dominate the French top flight despite losing star striker Neymar to Barcelona. They now turn their attention to the UEFA Champions League, where they will face Bayern Munich in the round of 16. With a strong squad and a new coach in tact, there is every chance that PSG will continue their dominance in European football for many years to come. |
