PSG can beat Marseille to the French Ligue 1 title when Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Neymar & Co. face high-flying Lens at the Parc des Princes.
10th min.: PSG have a chance to swing a cross in from a free-kick near the penalty area on the left. The major news for PSG is the potential return to the starting XI of Neymar — he missed the Angers game through a ban — and Messi, sidelined for that match by an Achilles tendon injury. A foul is adjudged to have taken place as the delivery soars into the sky, and Lens are awarded a free-kick. They're attacking from right to left in the first half tonight as they look to hold up PSG's title party. The wideman shows his blistering pace to race clear on the right and enter the penalty area. Mbappe then almost finds space inside the penalty area with a delicate touch, but can't get a clear sight of goal. His final touch on the run is perhaps a little heavy, giving him little choice but to shoot from a fairly acute angle, rather than cross for a teammate. The seventh-placed side in Ligue 1 continue to pose a threat. Then Kimpembe tries a shot from outside the danger zone in a central area, and Danso blocks it away. PSG start on the front foot, perhaps suggesting that Pochettino has urged them to right the wrongs of the first half during the next 45 minutes. 37th min.: A PSG corner from their left comes to nothing. Lens still posed a clear threat in the closing stages.

The ten men of Lens have equalised with minutes to play! Machado's low cross from the left evades all but Jean, who pops up at the far post to rifle home into the net! However, Leca comes off his line as Hakimi takes a heavy touch, and he smothers the ball away to put it out for a corner. Neymar plays it across to Messi just outside the area, before the Argentine curls an unstoppable effort from range into the top corner. The title as it stands is heading back to Paris! In the end, that lack of cutting edge may have cost them the win.

Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino won the first league title of his career after his team drew against 10-man Lens at the Parc des Princes.
The hosts began to turn the screw with the extra man. Second-place Marseille and fourth-place Rennes are both in action on Sunday, as are Strasbourg in fifth, while Monaco moved into third spot with a 4-1 victory at Saint-Etienne on Saturday. As always, we are focussed on our job at the club." The former Tottenham Hotspur manager was linked with the Manchester United job, only to miss out when Erik ten Hag got the nod. However, this season has been far more comfortable, with the club racing clear of their closest challengers early on and sitting atop the table since matchday three. Corentin Jean equalised for the 10 men, but it still wasn't enough to deny PSG the title.
Paris Saint-Germain secured a record equalling 10th Ligue 1 title after a 1-1 draw against Lens but many fans had already left.
Leipzig had beaten them on Wednesday by the same score thanks to Emil Forsberg’s stoppage-time winner. Danso picked up a second yellow card for a rough tackle on Neymar in the 57th minute. Inter’s fourth successive league win moved them on to 72 points from 33 matches, one ahead of Milan. Roma stay fifth on 58 points. In Germany, Bayern Munich sealed their 10th Bundesliga title in succession by beating Borussia Dortmund 2-1. Fans from the Boulogne and Auteuil stands did not show their support once again despite the team having won their previous four games, scoring 16 goals during that run. PSG equalled the record set by Saint-Étienne, who won 10 top flight titles between 1957 and 1981.

PSG's hopes of wrapping up the title with a win were given a boost in the 57th minute, as Danso was shown a second yellow card for a tackle on Neymar. We'll try to have as much fun as possible. Mbappe almost broke the deadlock early in the second half after a quick free-kick by Verratti, but his first effort was saved by Leca and his follow-up attempt was blocked on the line. On Saturday, an inevitable league title was confirmed in a strangely non-celebratory atmosphere in Paris, with some 'ultras' leaving early in protest after the Champions League exit. This season will still be seen as a failure for PSG, though, after collapsing to a dramatic loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League last 16, after also suffering a surprise French Cup loss to Nice. "Football is our passion, we started very young.
Paris Saint-Germain regained their Ligue 1 Uber Eats title after Lionel Messi fired them to a 1-0 win over RC Lens on Saturday night.
Messi turned a lot of heads in swapping Barcelona for the French capital at the start of the season. Only two of their previous league triumphs - in 1986 and 1994 - came before the Qatar Sports Investments era which began in 2011. Neymar slipped the ball to his former Barcelona teammate and the Argentine did the rest, curling an unstoppable effort beyond Leca for 1-0 (68'). Mbappé's tried to add gloss to the scoreline late on, but after nutmegging and then racing past Cheick Doucouré, he saw his penalty claim waved away (79'). Corentin Jean pulled one back late on (88') - enough for a 1-1 draw, but not enough to deny PSG the title.
