๐Ÿ† PSG beat Lens, win Ligue 1 and seal a record trophy run Paris Saint-Germain has reached its greatest period of dominance in Ligue 1 history. In a true title decider against second-placed Lens, the Champions League finalist won the postponed Matchday 29 game 1-0 this Wednesday (13) and sealed the 2025/2026 French league title. Kvaratskhelia scored at the rivalโ€™s ground, Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

And Safonov made at least four huge saves to secure the trophy. It was their FIFTH CONSECUTIVE Ligue 1 title โ€” surpassing the four straight won between 2012/2013 and 2015/2016. And their 12th title in 15 editions since the club was bought by Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) in August 2011.

The capital club has failed to win Ligue 1 only three times since then. It saw Giroudโ€™s Montpellier spring a surprise in the very first season of Qatari investment (2011/2012), was beaten by Mbappรฉโ€™s Monaco in 2016/17 and then by Lille in 2020/2021. It now has 14 trophies in total.

Four more than Marseille and Saint-ร‰tienne, who are also on 10. Monaco and Nantes (relegated to Ligue 2) have eight. Lyon (seven) and Bordeaux (six) come next.
