Kvaratskhelia strike helps PSG clinch fifth straight Ligue 1 title with win at Lens
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored as Paris Saint-Germain beat Lens 2-0 to secure a fifth consecutive Ligue 1 title in their penultimate league match, with a late Ibrahim Mbaye goal
Paris Saint-Germain secured a fifth consecutive Ligue 1 title on Wednesday after beating their nearest challengers Lens 2-0 in the penultimate round of the French top flight. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring after 29 minutes and substitute Ibrahim Mbaye added a stoppage-time goal to put PSG out of the reach of Lens.
Why it matters
The result ends the immediate title race: PSG moved to 76 points, a total the metadata says Lens cannot catch, leaving Lens assured of second place on 67 points. Winning a fifth straight domestic title reinforces PSG’s dominance of Ligue 1 and has implications for both clubs' planning ahead of next season in domestic and continental competitions.
