PSG clinch Ligue 1 title for record 12th time

PARIS: Paris St Germain (PSG) has once again asserted its dominance in French football by clinching the Ligue 1 title for a record-extending 12th time. The confirmation came after second-placed AS Monaco suffered a 3-2 defeat against Olympique Lyonnais, leaving PSG with an unassailable lead at the top of the table.

Despite missing the chance to secure the title in their previous match, a 3-3 draw with Le Havre, PSG’s commanding position with 70 points, 12 ahead of Monaco, was a testament to their consistency throughout the season. Monaco, who had been on an impressive unbeaten streak, succumbed to their first defeat in nine games, highlighting PSG’s unrivaled strength in French football.

Manager Luis Enrique’s calm demeanor after Saturday’s draw reflected his confidence in PSG’s superiority. With their far superior goal difference, Enrique knew that the title was virtually assured, a belief that was vindicated as PSG secured their 10th title in 12 seasons without needing to play another game.
