Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have secured their second consecutive Ligue 1 title after defeating Rennes on penalties in the final round standings. The French giants have now won the competition for the fifth time in six seasons.
The victory over Rennes was a historic moment for PSG, as it meant they had clinched the league title with just one game to play. The match ended 2-2 after extra-time, before a penalty shootout decided the outcome. PSG's Lionel Messi scored the decisive spot-kick to secure their place at the top of the table.
Meanwhile, Lens and Marseille have also secured Champions League qualification this season. Lens defeated Nice 1-0 in the final round standings, while Marseille beat Strasbourg 2-1 to finish second in Group A behind Paris St Germain.
Lens' victory is particularly significant given that they were relegated from Ligue 1 last season. The team has been working hard all season to bounce back and prove that they can compete at the highest level. Their success in securing Champions League qualification will be a great boost to their morale going into next season.
Marseille's win against Strasbourg is even more impressive given that the team lost several key players during the summer transfer window. However, they have managed to maintain their form and finish in second place in Group A. This shows that the team is capable of competing at the highest level despite losing some key players.
Overall, these results are testament to the quality of football being played in France. PSG, Lens and Marseille have all shown that they are among the best teams in Europe and are set to continue their dominance in the coming years.
