PSG win French league title with six games to go
A 24-point lead ensured the French side Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured yet another league title.
A 1-0 win over Angers Saturday was all that was needed in the end as PSG moved to an unassailable lead with just six matches left to play.
They have 74 points. Second place Monaco have 50, a massive gulf in class, indeed.
Teenage winger Desire Doue's 55th-minute volley from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's cross secured all three points at the Parc des Princes as the Parisians now set their sights on finishing unbeaten overall.
If they avoid defeat in their remaining six matches, PSG would become only the seventh side from Europe's top five leagues to go an entire league season unbeaten - emulating Bayer Leverkusen in 2024, Juventus in 2012, Arsenal in 2004, AC Milan in 1992, Perugia in 1979 and Preston North End in 1889.
Luis Enrique's side are closing in on Nantes' Ligue 1 record of 32 unbeaten games from the start of the 1994-95 season, but the Spaniard is determined to go the distance.
"Nobody has done that in France before, so that's something that we want to achieve," he said on BEIN Sport. "That would help us in the Champions League and the Coupe de France."
"Celebrating a title in early April shows that we've reached a very high level this season. We've achieved this target, but we have more games to play," said Enrique.
The French side face Aston Villa for a place in the Champions League semi-finals after overcoming Liverpool in the last 16, while they also have a French Cup final against Reims at the end of May.
In the Champions League, PSG will be confident, having beaten Liverpool in the previous round.
