Paris Saint-Germain secured their fifth consecutive and record-extending 14th Ligue 1 title by defeating title challengers Lens 2-0 at the Parc des Princes. A draw was sufficient for PSG to clinch the crown, putting them nine points clear with one game remaining. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring in the 29th minute following a defensive error by Lens, and Ibrahim Mbaye sealed the victory in stoppage time. PSG coach Luis Enrique praised Lens's season but credited goalkeeper Matvei Safonov for several crucial saves that kept PSG ahead. This league title is the third under Enrique's tenure since 2023. The match was rescheduled from April to accommodate PSG's Champions League ambitions, a decision Lens contested. PSG now looks ahead to the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30 in Budapest, aiming for a treble, having already won the league and French Super Cup. Lens, despite creating several clear chances that were denied by Safonov or missed the target, must now refocus on the French Cup final against Nice.

Key Points:

- PSG defeated Lens 2-0 to secure their fifth straight and 14th overall Ligue 1 title.

- Goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ibrahim Mbaye secured the victory, with goalkeeper Matvei Safonov making crucial saves.

- PSG remains on track for a treble, with the Champions League final against Arsenal scheduled for May 30.
