• Lille went to win 2-1 on Sunday night on the final day of Ligue 1.

  • Lille OSC is officially champion of France with a small point ahead of Paris SG.

  • An unexpected title that plunged Lille into euphoria at the final whistle.

Cries that resound, players who leap, others who embrace… And even a few tears of joy among the members of the staff. At the final whistle, emotion overwhelmed the Lille residents this Sunday evening in Angers. Winner of Angers SCO 2-1, Losc is officially crowned French Ligue 1 champion, ahead of Paris SG of Neymar and Mbappé. The fourth title in the history of the club, ten years after the famous double cup-championship of Hazard, Sow, Cabaye and others.

This time, the heroes are called Maignan, Bamba, Yilmaz, David, Ikoné, Fonte, Botman or Celik.

All celebrated the coronation for long minutes on the lawn.

They sang, took out the flags (Turkey, Portugal in the lead), posed, hilarious, for the photographers.

Coach Galtier gave himself a ride with his assistants ... In the official stand, José Fonte, captain suspended for this decisive match, gave voice to the whole meeting before exulting in unison with the substitutes.

Fair play, the Angevins even made a guard of honor to the champions.

The people of Lille did not tremble for very long

Fortunately for the Northerners, the case had been folded rather quickly.

Jonathan David had the good idea to open the mark in the 9th, full of composure, after a percussion from Renato Sanches.

Then the inevitable Burak Yilmaz had made the break from the penalty spot just before half-time (44th), following a fault on the same David.

Angelo Fulgini's reduction in the 91st score will not have changed anything.

Thanks to this ultimate success, the 24th of the season, Losc blocked its counter at 83 points, largely surpassing the 76 points obtained during the 2011 title. Leader since the end of January (22nd day), on the podium since September (5th day ), it shows above all that its title owes nothing to anyone.

In fact, all that was missing was the supporters to make the evening perfect.

The festive reunion is scheduled for Monday.

And probably before, because there will undoubtedly be a lot of people at Lille-Lesquin airport in a few hours.

The party has only just begun.
