A day earlier, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) had a great opportunity to celebrate the title. But in that match Talani’s team drew with Le Havre and Luis Enrique’s team. However, Monaco, who is number two in the league table, lost to Leo on Sunday! And in their defeat of 3-2 goals, the title of League One was confirmed for PSG.
Paris Saint-Germain’s winning record
As a result of Monaco’s loss, the Paris giants confirmed the top position of the table with a clear margin of 12 points. And with that, PSG won the French League One title for a record 12 times. Because even if they win the remaining three matches, Monaco will not be able to catch PSG.
As a result, PSG won the French Ligue 1 title for the third time in a row. It is their 10th league trophy in the last 11 seasons. Overall record highest 12. However, PSG does not want to celebrate the league title victory in this defeat of Monaco. All their attention now revolves around the crucial Champions League semi-final against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.
Paris Saint-Germain’s team history
PSG’s renaissance began in 2011 when the Qatari government investment firm Qatar Sports Investments took ownership of the club. The transformed club gradually emerged as one of the superpowers of European football.
PSG, which has been showing dominance since the beginning of this season, has already claimed the French Champions Trophy. They will meet in the French Cup final against Lyon on May 25. But their full focus is now on the UEFA Champions League. In addition, Luis Enrique’s team is also looking forward to playing in the finals of this tournament of European champions on June 1 after defeating the German club Borussia Dortmund in the last four.
Other matches and points table
Monaco lost in Sunday’s important match, but Brest left the field with a win. They beat René 5-4 on extra time goals in the match. Also, Brest has gone a long way to qualify for the Champions League for the first time. Former Rennes defender Liliane Brassier scored the winning goal in the sixth minute of extra time. However, Arnaud Kalimuendo’s double goal in the 9th minute left Brest behind by 2-0.
Then Steve Mooney quickly returned the relief with a goal. After the break, Omari’s own goal warmed the visiting camp back to level. Uruguayan striker Martin Satriano put Brest ahead in the 54th minute. Then Mahdi Kamara’s goal made the difference 4-2. In a dramatic match, Arthur Thiete and Martin Tierra scored two consecutive goals in the space of 10 minutes to bring Rennes back into contention. But in the end the hosts René could not defend themselves.
Brest, who tasted defeat in the previous two matches, retained the third place in the table with this great win. They are only 2 points behind second-placed Monaco. With this victory, Brest confirmed the ticket to play in at least one European football tournament next year for the first time in the club’s history. That’s why Eric Roy, the coach of the club, is very excited. At the end of the match, he said, ‘Last season we ensured survival in the league by keeping three matches in hand. This time we have confirmed to play in the European tournament, it is really incredible.’
The top three teams from League One will qualify directly for next year’s UEFA Champions League. And the fourth placed team in the league will get a chance to play in the preliminary round. Lille are fighting to qualify for the European Championship. They are fourth in the table with 55 points from 31 matches equal to Brest.
