Paris Saint-Germain celebrated their maiden Division 1 Feminine title on Friday as Lyon's run of 14 consecutive league trophies came to an end.
Lyon had dominated the top tier of women's football in France, their stranglehold on the league dating back to 2007.
PSG had finished second on eight occasions during that period, but that changed thanks to a 3-0 home win over Dijon in their final game of the season.
French capital club PSG went into the final round a point clear atop the table following their goalless draw away to rivals Lyon in the penultimate fixture.

It is not the first time PSG have snapped a Lyon streak in 2020-21.
