Ligue 1: Achraf Hakimi’s PSG won their 12th French league title [Vidéo]

Paris is a sanctuary. On Sunday, PSG won its 12th French championship title thanks to the defeat of Monaco in Lyon (3-2), and now it can look forward to a historic treble in the Champions League and the Coupe de France.

A draw conceded against Le Havre at the Parc des Princes on Saturday (3-3) delayed this new crown, but Lyon did not let the false suspense linger for too long, dropping the Monegasques to 12 points behind the Parisians with three days to go in Ligue 1.

In any case, the outcome was inevitable. The capital players never trembled during the exercise in which they dominated head and shoulders, unlike the previous season when they felt Lenso’s breath on their neck until the end.

The start of the season was complicated, however, with the team in break-in mode following the arrival of former FC Barcelona coach Luis Enrique. PSG took the lead in the rankings only on November 11 in Reims (3-0).

That evening, Kylian Mbappé scored a hat-trick and Luis Enrique asked him to do more, the first episode in a strained relationship in which the superstar’s announcement of his departure this summer has prompted the technician to cut back on his playing time.

Despite this background of sporting and financial problems, no competitor saw the back of the Paris TGV again, racing towards the title without ever retiring.

The team, with its offensive and intense game modeled by the former coach of Spain, dominated the confrontations against Lyon, Marseille, Lens and even Monaco, conceding only one defeat, against Nice at the Parc des Princes on September 15.
