🏆 PSG beat Lens, win another Ligue 1 and extend record trophy run | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain have reached their greatest spell of dominance in Ligue 1 history.

In a true title decider against second-placed Lens, the Champions League finalists won the postponed Matchday 29 game 2-0 this Wednesday (13) and sealed the 2025/2026 French league title.

Kvaratskhelia and Mbaye (already in stoppage time) scored at the home of their rivals, the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Safonov, meanwhile, made at least four big saves.

It was their FIFTH CONSECUTIVE Ligue 1 title - surpassing the four straight won between 2012/2013 and 2015/2016.

And their 12th title in 15 seasons since the club was bought by Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) in August 2011.

The capital club have failed to win Ligue 1 only three times since then.

They saw Giroud’s Montpellier pull off a surprise in the very first season of Qatari investment (2011/2012), were beaten by Mbappé’s Monaco in 2016/17 and then by Lille in 2020/2021. 

They now have 14 titles overall. Four more than Marseille and Saint-Étienne. Monaco and Nantes (relegated to Ligue 2) have eight. Lyon (seven) and Bordeaux (six) come next. 

Lens, who needed a win to go into the final round with a chance, now turn their focus to the French Cup final. They will face Nice on the 22nd. 

PSG, meanwhile, can now think solely and exclusively about the UCL final against Arsenal on the 30th.

PSG drew attention even before taking the field.

What is still at stake in Ligue 1?

There are three direct spots in next season’s Champions League league phase.

PSG (76) and Lens (67) have secured the first two.

The fourth-placed team will go into the UCL qualifying rounds.

Fifth place will qualify for the Europa League. And sixth will go into the Conference League. 

See below how the race for those spots stands. 

The two teams directly relegated to Ligue 2 have already been confirmed.

Only the playoff spot remains, which will pit the 16th-placed Ligue 1 team against the third-placed team from Ligue 2 (Laval) for a place in the top flight.

Le Havre, Auxerre and Nice are trying to avoid that showdown.
