PSG crowned Ligue 1 champions for fifth time in a row
Lens, May 14
With one game of its 2025-2026 Ligue 1 campaign to spare, Paris Saint-Germain's men's team has been officially crowned as the champions of France after a 2-0 win over Racing Club de Lens.
The win over Lens was also PSG's 11th away victory of 2025-2026, making for the highest number of wins earned on the road by any team in the division.
PSG have now won their 14th top-flight title of all time and - for the first time in the club's history - their fifth Ligue 1 trophy in a row, which takes their total number of honours up to 59.
This is also the fourth honour of 2025-2026 for PSG - France's most decorated football club of all time - following on from the UEFA Super Cup, the FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the Trophee des Champions, the latter of which came thanks to a 4-1 penalty-shootout win over Olympique de Marseille after a 2-2 draw in Kuwait City on 8th January.
"We showed the level and the ambition required to finish on top this season. We are very happy because this is the most difficult of the three trophies to win. Lens have had a great championship. Today, playing in this stadium was a big game, because next season, both of us will be in the Champions League. We need to enjoy the moment," PSG coach Luis Enrique said.
Now, having reached their second consecutive UEFA Champions League final, Luis Enrique's men will look to create yet more history against Arsenal in Budapest on May 30.
"We're very proud of this 14th French league title, which, for the first time in the club's history, is our fifth in a row. Congratulations to the players, to Luis Enrique, to Luís Campos and to all of the backroom staff for the exceptional job that they have done. This success is the result both of a top-notch team effort from everyone at Paris Saint-Germain and of the strength of our academy, particularly with five young players making their professional debuts.
"Our focus is now fully on our upcoming assignment in Budapest, with even more work to be done as we continue to make history together, said Nasser Al-Khelaifi, Paris Saint-Germain President.

Fifth straight league title? That's some consistency bro! 🇫🇷 But 59 total honours? Our Indian clubs can only dream of such dominance. Mumbai City FC and ATK Mohun Bagan need to step up their game. Luis Enrique is doing wonders with PSG.
Even as a football fan from India, I have to admit PSG's dominance is getting boring. Ligue 1 has become a one-horse race. The Champions League final against Arsenal will be the real measure of this team. And 11 away wins - that's impressive in any league.
Their academy producing 5 debutants is the real story here! 👍 Makes me think of how Bengaluru FC and other ISL clubs are investing in youth. PSG's model of buying big stars but also developing youngsters is something Indian football should study closely. All the best for the UCL final! 🇮🇳⚽
Hmm, winning Ligue 1 is expected with their budget. But let's see if they can finally win the Champions League. Arsenal will be tough. And Lens qualifying for Champions League too? That's the real achievement here - small clubs punching above their weight. Respect to them. 🎯
Another year, another PSG title in Ligue 1. It's like watching an exam topper always get 95% - no surprise. The real test will be against Arsenal in Budapest. If they bottle that, all these domestic titles won't matter to their critics. Just saying. 🫤
