PSG secures 14th Ligue 1 title with win over Lens

May 13, 2026

Paris Saint-Germain beat Lens 2-0 on Wednesday in a delayed Ligue 1 match and officially claimed their 14th French league title.

The Parisians scored through Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ibrahim Mbaye. They relied on Matveï Safonov’s goalkeeping to prevail despite Lens creating numerous chances.

Lens coach Pierre Sage said: “The score is very unfair tonight.” He added that his side had produced an honorable display against “the best team in the world”.

PSG coach Luis Enrique called the title “the most savoury and the most difficult” since his arrival. He praised Safonov’s performance and his team’s mentality.

Banners critical of Qatar and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi were displayed in the stands at Bollaert. Lens, now runners-up, will face Nice in the Coupe de France final on 22 May.

What people are saying

Initial reactions on X celebrate PSG's 14th Ligue 1 title secured with a 2-0 win at Lens, praising defensive resilience from Safonov and goals by Kvaratskhelia and Mbaye. Some highlight Lens's dominance without scoring, while others criticize the postponed match and exchange taunts between rival supporters.

Lens faisait des communiqués toutes les 10 secondes pour nous tomber dessus après le rapport du match .

Tout ça pour que le PSG vienne chez eux les battre, avec une équipe B en plus, puis fêter le titre de champion de France chez eux
