With Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, PSG started the championship game against Lens with its dream vanguard. Nevertheless, it remained 0-0 for a long time in the Parc des Princes, although it was the stars in the front line who broke open the game. About 20 minutes before the end, it was Messi who opened the score on a pass from Neymar, after Kevin Danso had been sent off on behalf of Lens a little earlier.
There was ultimately no question of a resounding victory for ‘Paris’, because Lens managed to equalize. The huge margin that Mauricio Pochettino’s team had built up, however, ensured that the late equalizer did not cause any stress.
PSG has definitively won the title with a 16-point lead over Olympique Marseille, although the upcoming opponent of Feyenoord in the Conference League still has a duel due. It will, incidentally, mainly need that duel to keep AS Monaco from second place.
