Paris St-Germain secured their 13th Ligue 1 crown with a 1-0 victory over Angers at the Parc des Princes, clinching the title with six matches to spare.
Teenage sensation Desire Doue delivered the decisive moment, volleying home a sublime cross from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the 55th minute.
Luis Enrique’s team only needed a draw to wrap up the title but showcased their dominance with over 80% possession in the first half.
Despite creating several opportunities, including a missed header by Goncalo Ramos and a superb save from Angers goalkeeper Yahia Fofana to deny Vitinha, PSG had to wait until the second half to break the deadlock.
Doue, who joined PSG from Rennes in the summer, continues to shine in his debut season, contributing 11 goals and 11 assists. The 19-year-old, born in Angers, proved instrumental in PSG’s success as they claimed their fourth successive Ligue 1 title and their 11th in the last 13 seasons.
Under Enrique’s guidance, PSG remain unbeaten in the league this season, edging closer to the record 32-match unbeaten run set by Nantes in the 1994-95 campaign. If they avoid defeat in their remaining fixtures, they will join an elite group of teams from Europe’s top five leagues to complete a season unbeaten.
Despite losing stars like Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe in recent years, PSG have rebuilt with astute signings, including Doue, Kvaratskhelia, and Willian Pacho, a strategy that has paid dividends both domestically and in Europe.
With a potential quadruple in sight, PSG now set their sights on the Champions League quarter-final clash against Aston Villa, followed by a Coupe de France final against Stade Reims.
