PSG win Ligue 1 title after Monaco defeat


PSG win Ligue 1 title after Monaco defeat

Paris Saint-Germain were confirmed as Ligue 1 champions on Sunday (Apr 28) without playing after closest challengers Monaco lost 3-2 away to Lyon. Monaco's defeat gave PSG an unassailable 12-point lead at the top of the table with three games remaining and means they are champions for a French record-extending 12th time. PSG could have clinched the title on Saturday with a win at home to struggling Le Havre, but in the end they needed a 95th-minute equaliser to snatch a 3-3 draw. However, after that game coach Luis Enrique insisted his side had won the league "without any doubt", as they were 12 points clear with only 12 points left to play for, and also boast a far superior goal difference to that of Monaco.

Paris Saint-Germain have won their third consecutive Ligue 1 title after second-placed Monaco fell to a 3-2 defeat against Lyon. PSG are 12 points clear and cannot be caught with just three games remaining.

Malick Fofana scored the winner for Lyon on Sunday (Apr 28), with the 19-year-old slotting home from close range late on.

PSG had the chance to seal the title with victory on Saturday but could only manage a draw against relegation-threatened Le Havre.

It is PSG's 12th Ligue 1 title and their 10th in the past 11 years.

Luis Enrique's side will now turn their attentions to winning the club's first Champions League trophy. They face Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals next month.
