And twelve! After seeing AS Monaco delay their coronation on Wednesday evening and having lost an opportunity to finish the job on Saturday evening against Le Havre, PSG is finally assured of finishing in first place in Ligue 1 2023-2024 and being crowned champion of France. For this to happen, Monaco had to trip over their feet at Groupama Stadium and lose against Lyon. Paris is now 12 points ahead of its runner-up Monaco, which protects it from a comeback at the end of the season.
“Winning the championship is fantastic, but winning Ligue 1 for the twelfth time is even more special for everyone linked to Paris Saint-Germain,” said Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of Paris Saint-Germain, immediately. Congratulations to all the players, to our coach Luis Enrique and his staff, to Luis Campos and his department, as well as to all the members of the Club. Since the start of the season, the team has been so collective and united. I don’t forget the supporters, who were extraordinary, whatever the result. We are going to enjoy this moment as a family. And also continue to work hard, game after game, until the last moment of the season. »
PSG will therefore be able to play their last three championship matches with a light spirit and a feeling of accomplishment. He will receive the French champion trophy as is customary during his last home match, on May 12 following his match against Toulouse (9 p.m.). PSG will be, as we revealed to you on March 27, the last French team to lift the “Hexagoal” trophy before the change planned for next season. In the meantime, Paris will have faced Dortmund in the semi-final, home and away, of the Champions League.
After 1986, 1994, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023, this is the twelfth French champion title in the history of Paris Saint-Germain, which became last season the only club with the most titles in the history of the championship ahead of AS Saint-Etienne (10). Qualified for the final of the Coupe de France (against Lyon, May 25) and for the semi-finals of the Champions League (against Dortmund, May 1 and 7), Paris, which also won the Trophée des champions (January 3 against Toulouse) are still in the running for a historic quadruple.
