The suspense was nonexistent, but PSG definitively validated its French champion title by winning on Wednesday night at Lens (0-2). The Parisian club is closing in on a record held by Lyon.
By winning at the Parc des Princes against Brest on Sunday night (1-0), PSG had one hand and four fingers on the French champion title.
With a six-point lead over Lens and a very favorable goal difference with two matchdays remaining, Luis Enrique's team was 99% assured of being champion.
On Wednesday night, Ousmane Dembele's teammates finished the job at Lens, winning 0-2 and officially and definitively securing the Ligue 1 title. This is PSG's 14th French championship title, four more than any other team, as noted by @OptaJean on X.

The statistics-specialized account brings another interesting element, and it concerns… Lyon.
"This is the fifth straight title for PSG, only Lyon between 2002 and 2008 (7) has achieved such a performance in Ligue 1 history. Crowned," details Opta on their official X account.
Paris Saint-Germain now dreams of securing two additional titles in 2026-27 and 2027-28 to match Lyon's record of seven straight titles. To do this, the Parisian club will need to avoid the pitfalls of the past, such as the titles of Montpellier in 2012, Monaco in 2017, and Lille in 2021.
Luis Enrique has turned the Rouge et Bleu into a true machine. In addition to dominating the present of European soccer, they are writing a history in France that will never be erased and will be remembered for decades.
