Ligue 1: PSG officially crowned champion of France for the 12th time

Glory day for Paris Saint-Germain. Already crowned champion of France in 1986 and 1994, then nine times under the leadership of QSI (2013-16, 2018-20, 2022-23), the capital club won its 12th national coronation this Sunday, thanks to the defeat of its Monegasque runner-up in Lyon (3-2), during the 31st day of Ligue 1. And this despite PSG's draw against Le Havre (3-3) on Saturday evening. “We are champions,” noted Luis Enrique after the match. He was not wrong: with this point snatched in the final moments, his players could no longer be overtaken by ASM, far behind in terms of goal difference. There was no more suspense. It is now a mathematical reality. Holders of the best attack (79 goals), the biggest goal difference (47) and the third best defense (29 goals), Luis Enrique's players dominated a season which saw five teams appear at the top of the standings. , Rennes, Monaco, Brest, Nice and therefore Paris.

Note that this is PSG's 50th trophy, all inclusive, including 32 acquired since the arrival of QSI at the head of the club in 2011. “Winning the championship is fantastic, but winning Ligue 1 for the twelfth time is even more special for all those linked to Paris Saint-Germain, greets Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. Congratulations to all the players, to our coach Luis Enrique and his staff, to Luis Campos and his department, as well as to all the members of the Club. Since the start of the season, the team has been so collective and united. I don't forget the supporters, who were extraordinary, whatever the result. We are going to enjoy this moment as a family. And also continue to work hard, match after match, until the last moment of the season.

Undefeated in its last 26 outings in Ligue 1 and beaten only once since the start of the season, in September against Nice (2-3), at the Parc des Princes, PSG took the reins on the 12th day and did not didn't let them go after that. This is only the second time that the Rouge et Bleu have won three French championship titles in their history, they who already hold the record for coronations in L1 ahead of AS Saint-Etienne (10), Marseille (9) , Monaco and Nantes (8). Remember that PSG, already winner of the Champions Trophy at the start of 2024, is still in the running for what would be a fabulous and historic quadruplet with the Coupe de France, the final is scheduled for May 25 against Lyon, in Lille, and the Ligue des champions, with the semi-finals against Dortmund on May 1 and 7 and a potential final on June 1, at Wembley. In view of the progress made, the state of mind displayed and these two trophies already gleaned, the Parisian season is already a success. Now for the story.
