PSG Defeats Lens to Win Record Fifth Consecutive Ligue 1 Title

Paris Saint-Germain secured their fifth consecutive Ligue 1 title and a record-breaking trophy run by defeating second-placed Lens 1-0 in a decisive Matchday 29 fixture on May 13, 2026. The victory, achieved at Lens's Stade Bollaert-Delelis, was driven by a goal from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and crucial saves by goalkeeper Matvey Safonov. This triumph marks PSG's 12th league title in 15 seasons since the Qatar Sports Investments takeover in 2011, surpassing their previous record of four straight titles. With this win, PSG extends their total major trophy count to 14, solidifying their dominance over historic rivals like Marseille and Saint-Étienne. While Lens missed the chance to keep the title race alive, they now focus on the upcoming French Cup final against Nice. PSG shifts its full attention to the UEFA Champions League final against Arsenal, scheduled for May 30. The result also confirmed PSG and Lens as the top two teams qualifying directly for the next season's Champions League group stage, leaving other European spots and relegation battles to be decided in the final rounds.
