Paris Saint-Germain has secured its eleventh championship title in France’s Ligue 1 and is the new record champion. The team around world champion Lionel Messi, offensive star Kylian Mbappé and the injured Brazilian Neymar handed a 1-1 (0-0) at Racing Strasbourg.
With a four-point lead over second-placed RC Lens, Christophe Galtier’s team can no longer be dislodged from first place with a game to go in the season. For PSG it was the second championship title in a row.
In Strasbourg, the Argentinian Lionel Messi initially put the favorites in the lead after submitting Mbappé (59th). Strasbourg managed to equalize through Kevin Gameiro (79th), but the point win was enough for Paris to win the title early.
