Paris Saint-Germain clinches Ligue 1 title with 3 rounds to spare, Lens secures runner-up spot.
Updated:2025-10-16 08:31 Views:67The French football league has seen its most dramatic end yet as Paris Saint-Germain secured the Ligue 1 title with three rounds to spare on Saturday night.
In one of the most thrilling finishes in recent memory, PSG overcame a late comeback from Marseille and secured their eighth top-flight crown in nine seasons. The victory was all the more impressive given that they had been trailing by two goals at half-time.
For Lens, who finished second, it was a much-needed boost after a disappointing campaign that saw them miss out on European football for the first time since 2017.
The final day of the season saw both sides playing out an enthralling contest at Parc des Princes, with PSG dominating possession but unable to find the back of the net until the 88th minute when Edinson Cavani scored his 24th goal of the season.
Despite this, Marseille's hopes of securing a place in Europe were dashed as they conceded a late winner to Olympique de Marseille, while Lens' hopes of ending their European exile also went up in smoke as they lost 2-1 to Nice.
Overall, it was a memorable weekend for football fans across France as the final days of the season produced some of the most exciting matches of the season so far.
