Paris Saint-Germain secured their record-extending 13th Ligue 1 championship with a 1-0 victory over Angers at the Parc des Princes. Désiré Doué’s goal was enough to clinch the title with six matches remaining in the season, as PSG maintained their unbeaten league record with 23 wins in 28 games.
This triumph marks PSG’s 11th French championship since Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) acquired the club in 2011, adding to their previous titles from 1986 and 1994. The dominant performance throughout the season saw the Parisians score 80 goals while conceding just 26.
“The fans are so proud of us and we gave them this title,” said coach Luis Enrique, who was celebrated by his staff and players after the final whistle. “The fact that other soccer fans, who are not PSG fans, like our style of play is a huge honor for us.”
The Spanish manager has implemented a more fluid attacking style this season, emphasizing collective play rather than individual brilliance. This approach has proven successful despite the departure of several star players, including Lionel Messi and Neymar, before the season began.
PSG’s domestic dominance continues to grow, with this being their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title. The club has established an unprecedented level of consistency in French football, creating a significant gap between themselves and traditional rivals like Marseille, Lyon, and Monaco.
Looking ahead, PSG can complete a domestic double by defeating Reims in the French Cup final on May 24. However, the club’s ultimate ambition remains Champions League success, the trophy that has eluded them despite substantial investment over the past decade.
The early title confirmation allows Luis Enrique to potentially rotate his squad in remaining league fixtures, keeping key players fresh for cup competitions and planning for next season’s campaigns.
