As Lionel Messi breaks yet another record, PSG wins a record-breaking 11th Ligue 1 title

Posted : 28 May 2023
After drawing 1-1 against Strasbourg on Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain secured an unprecedented 11th French league championship, pulling four points ahead of Lens with one game remaining.
 
After receiving a ball from Kylian Mbappe, World Cup champion Lionel Messi gave PSG the lead in the 59th minute. Kevin Gameiro, a former PSG striker, tied the score for Strasbourg in the 79th minute.
 
Cristiano Ronaldo's scoring record for the top five leagues in Europe was broken by Messi, who scored his 496th league goal in Europe in his career.
 
By defeating relegated Ajaccio 3-0 at home, Lens earned second place and automatic qualification for the Champions League the following season.
 
PSG, the defending champion, passed Saint-Etienne, a previously dominant force in France who won their tenth championship in 1981 but were demoted to the second division the previous year.
 
"Everything was not perfect, but this title belongs to the players. Being French champions is always something," said coach Christophe Galtier.
 
"From a personal point of view, I appreciate it a lot."
 
PSG president Nasser al-Khelaïfi, who has been in control since 2011 said "This is of course an historic moment for Paris Saint-Germain. This 11th French league title is the reward for all the hard work we have put in over the last 12 years"
 
"To make Ligue 1 history and overtake Saint-Etienne is a real source of pride."
PSG have won nine of its 11 titles since Qatari backers QSI took charge 12 years ago, with the first of those in 2013. PSG's other titles were in 1986 and 1994.
 
The championship will be celebrated at Parc des Princes the following Saturday when PSG plays home to Clermont in what is expected to be Messi's last match for PSG.
