Updated:2025-12-24 08:36 Views:128The French football league has been dominated by two teams for the past few seasons - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Lens. However, the title race is set to be decided in the final matchday as Marseille and Monaco battle it out for third place.
Paris Saint-Germain secured their second consecutive Ligue 1 title with a 2-0 victory over Strasbourg on Sunday. The win means that PSG will become only the fourth team to win three consecutive titles in France's top flight. They have already clinched the domestic cup, so they will focus on securing their sixth title overall.
On the other hand, Lens finished third after a 1-0 defeat at home to Nice. This result means that Lens will miss out on European football next season. However, they can still secure a spot in the Europa League by finishing in the top four of the league table.
Meanwhile, Marseille and Monaco are battling it out for third place. Marseille were unable to hold onto their lead after a 4-1 loss to Lille on Saturday. This means that Marseille will finish in second place, but they will face a tough challenge from Monaco who won 2-1 against Rennes on Sunday.
Marseille have a strong squad and they have shown that they can compete with the best teams in Europe. However, Monaco have also shown that they can compete with the best teams in France. Both sides will be looking to put pressure on each other and try to secure their place in the Europa League.
In conclusion, the title race in Ligue 1 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent memory. With two dominant teams like PSG and Lens competing for the title, there will be many twists and turns throughout the season. It remains to be seen which side will emerge victorious and claim the Ligue 1 title for the first time since 2017.
