After defeating second-placed Monaco 3-2 in the 31st round at Olympique Lyonnais, Paris Saint-Germain became invincible in first place with three rounds remaining in the season. The capital team celebrates the third championship title and the twelfth in the club’s history.
Sure enough, Adi Hütter's side, AS Monaco, had the chance to win the match in Lyon and thus postpone the tournament decision to next week.
