Match in Five Sentences: Lens were beaten 2-0 by Paris Saint-Germain at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia struck in the 29th minute after Ousmane Dembélé won the ball and slipped him through. After the restart, Lens piled on the pressure, with Abdallah Sima denied repeatedly before hitting the post (74.). Safonov produced eight saves as Lens racked up 25 attempts, and in the third minute of second half stoppage time Ibrahim Mbaye made sure of it from a Desire Doue cut-back. Paris Saint-Germain sealed the Ligue 1 title and now visit Paris FC next, while Lens travel to Lyon.
Player of the Match: Matvey Safonov made eight saves, including a point-blank stop from Wesley Said and a reflex denial from Abdallah Sima, to deliver a title-clinching clean sheet.
Stat of the Match: Lens registered 25 attempts with 10 on target, but could not find a way past Safonov.
Three Things We Learned: Ruben Aguilar created two big chances and delivered two accurate crosses, giving Lens their best supply from the right. Abdallah Sima attempted seven shots with three on target and hit the post, embodying the hosts' near-misses. Illia Zabarnyi made six clearances and produced a first half goal-line stop, anchoring a back line that faced 25 attempts.
