PSG Crowned Ligue 1 Champions for Record-setting 11th Time

  • Paris St Germain won their 11th Ligue 1 title with a 1-1 draw against Racing Strasbourg.
  • Lionel Messi scored for PSG in the 48th minute, breaking Cristiano Ronaldo's scoring record for Europe's top five leagues with his 496th career league goal.
  • PSG's success is due to the state-backed wealth of Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), which has bankrolled the club over the past decade.
  • This season's run-in has been stressful for PSG, and winning the Ligue 1 title is not necessarily enough on its own for the club.
  • PSG failed to make inroads in the Champions League after falling to Bayern Munich in the last 16.
