Paris Saint-Germain has awarded three match points, but now it's done: PSG is determined after the draw of pursuer OSC Lille as French football champions. Lille played 0-0 against FC Toulouse in the afternoon, 16 points behind Paris five games before the end of the season. PSG plays against AS Monaco in the evening, but is no longer catching up.
For the capitals it is the eighth championship title in Ligue 1, only AS Saint-Étienne (10) and Olympique Marseille (9) have more. For coach Thomas Tuchel it is the first championship title in professional football.
That the Parisians can cheer even before their own game, they have not only to Toulouse, but also thanks to the video evidence. Thiago Mendes (62 minutes) met for the supposed 1-0 for Lille. The referee did not let the goal go because of a previous handball match.
Paris had not taken the chance three times in the past three games, to become champions on their own. A 2-1 loss to Strasbourg was followed by a surprise 1-5 defeat by pursuer Lille and a 2-3 win against FC Nantes.
On April 27, Paris plays in the Coupe de France against Stade Rennes and can make perfect the league and cup double. In the Champions League they were eliminated in the round of 16 against Manchester United.
